At first glance the impulse is to point out that folks are in fact greater than zero paying interest rates, or to mention Bernanke's no longer there, but some how my guess is that it's not what you mean.
Patiently awaiting the Ringing of the Bell that will signal a bottom. Or a top. Or a sideways market. Or anything.
Surely, someone, somewhere KNOWS!?!?!?!?
Ah, c’mon, you know I’m referring to the past and current FED policy, commonly referred to as a zero interest rate.
“Under ZIRP, the central bank maintains a 0% nominal interest rate.”

As for continuing to refer to FED money printing (in it’s various forms) as Bernake Bucks, the alliteration is ever so much more pleasant sounding than, by comparison, the somewhat more jarring term Yellen Bucks.....um, how about Janet Juice? Besides that it is, in fact, a continuation of Uncle Ben’s “only-the-little-people-have-to-pay” policy.
Neither of the above are signs of a healthy economy. They are continuing signs of the opposite.
