    The extension of Operation Twist until the end of the year and the Fed's failure to explicitly lengthen its low-rate guidance has put the economy on course for a "monetary cliff" as well as a "fiscal cliff," says Goldman Sachs' Jan Hatzius.

  • Funny comment by a disgruntled forecaster: as his best guess did not materialize, he's blaming his failed forecast on reality:
    His prevision last week:
    "(OT extension)... won't work, Hatzius says, adding the Fed will likely announce its resorting to a more drastic move known as quantitative easing"

    aka: If reality does not turn out to be what I predict, then reality is wrong.

    GS needs better than this.
