“Whew! The Fed is number one in central banking. And it’s finding out just how tough it can be to meddle with a $16 trillion economy. On Wednesday, Ben Bernanke came out with a public statement. He said that if all went well… and he didn’t change his mind… and nothing unexpected came up…and the Fed’s Open Market Committee felt like it… the Fed would begin tapering its bond buying sometime soon. That was all it took to send a shiver up investors’ spines… and a sell signal to Wall Street. Everything sold off – stocks, bonds, commodities, gold… you name it.”
