"Quantitative Easing, QE, is an emergency action by a central bank that buys government securities to generate liquidity and promote lending when other financial stimulus methods, such as low interest rates and quick funds access, have been maximized. In November 2008, the Federal Reserve Bank began a QE in the U.S., but did not buy Treasury bills, bonds, or notes. Instead, the Fed bought $600 billion in mortgage backed securities, avoiding a direct infusion of cash to the money supply that could have led to devaluation of the dollar and run-away inflation."

In Roman mythology, Veritas, meaning truth, was the goddess of truth, a daughter of Saturn and the mother of Virtue. It was believed that she hid in the bottom of a holy well because she was so elusive. Her image is shown as a young virgin dressed in white.[1] Veritas is also the name given to the Roman virtue of truthfulness, which was considered one of the main virtues any good Roman should possess. In Greek mythology, Veritas was known as Aletheia. -Wikipedia
