What I like about Bernanke, is that I think and hope that he isn't going to meddle in the economy -- such as Greenspan, who singlehandedly crashed the stock market by his unnecessary and large interest rate increases, because he decided that the stock market was too high and it was his job to crash it.
I think Bernanke will focus on the money, and not be driven by the behavior of the economy in general, the stock market, real estate market or other things. The more he stays out of things, the better it will be.
Well said.
But, remember, he's an academic, not a markets guy.
He's doomed to screw it up.
