Octaper (October + taper)

The stock market had all eyes on the Federal Reserve in 2013, speculating when its quantitative easing program—involving as much as $85 billion a month—would lessen or “taper.” The Fed gave hints that this would happen in the fall, and many analysts pinned this to September. “Septaper” (September + taper) became a popular term, but the Fed would not taper in the month of September.
 
“Octoper” (October + taper) was cited on Twitter on August 7, 2013.

Why Fed Hates the Word ‘Taper’
By Nell Henderson
Will we get a “Septaper” today? Or will the Federal Reserve wait and deliver an “Octaper” next month?

The Federal Open Market Committee has two more meetings this year: Oct. 29-30 and Dec. 17-18. They can also convene via teleconference anytime they wish, but that’s unlikely unless some dire emergency develops.
 
We could have a Halloween Oct-Taper, a Santa Claus Taper or no taper at all. Some analysts think Bernanke wants to begin the new course before his term ends in January. That’s possible — but he is still only one vote.

Market Unhappy After Bullard Suggests Possible Octaper
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/20/2013 08:25 - 0400
It seems just as a plethora of Fed heads had to walk back Bernanke’s last press conference hawkishness, that the uber-dovishness interpreted by the market from Wednesday’s FOMC is now being tapered back. Speaking on Bloomberg TV, Fed’s Bullard warns an October Taper is on the cards:
 
*BULLARD SAYS ECONOMY ISN’T THAT FRAGILE
*BULLARD SAYS $10 BILLION TAPER VERSUS NO TAPER NOT `BIG THING’
*BULLARD SAYS NO TAPER, SMALL TAPER WAS A `BORDERLINE’ CALL
