“When it comes to the financial markets, Bernanke is, without a question, the most powerful man in the world. On May 22, he suggested that the Fed may soon reduce the size of its money-printing program, known as QE. Since then, the market has experienced a small meltdown. More than $2.5 trillion has already been erased from the value of global equities. Some analysts think the Fed announcing the end of QE would be a good thing. They think it would indicate the Fed is confident the economy is strong enough to operate without stimulus. The only problem is the Fed is thinking about ending QE for a reason that has nothing to do with healthy economic growth.”
