The following video is from Wednesday's Investor Beat, in which host Chris Hill and Motley Fool analysts Bryan White and Matthew Argersinger take a sharp look at some of the biggest investing stories of the day.
At 2 p.m. ET this afternoon, the Federal Reserve announced that economic conditions were still too weak, and that it will continue its quantitative easing program, buying $85 billion in bonds each month. Previous announcements this year that QE would continue saw the market rise, but today's announcement saw a market pullback on the news. In the lead story on today's Investor Beat, Matt and Bryan discuss why the market might not have liked the news this time, and when they would like to see quantitative easing come to an end.

General Motors' third-quarter profits fell 53%, which beat expectations, and the stock rose on the news.
