I've been thinking 2015 before the candy bowl gets taken away, but could be as early as mid-2014 if the Fed projections come true.
Can you explain the metaphor please?

45 billion / month in long term treasuries and 40 billion / month in mortgage backed securties. Also, the fed funds rate is at 0 to 0.25% (this is the rate that the fed "loans" money to depository institutions (aka big banks) loan money to each other.
When the "candy bowl" gets taken away the Fed will slow down/eliminate the Treasury and MBS purchases and start to raise the funds rate.
