Mish; <The market thought as much of Bernanke's speech as I did.> Care to share what it was that was unacceptable? I mean the guy can't be faulted with what Greenspan dumped on his lap. I thought his voice was strained as he took the hard road. .....If the fed is going to combat inflation and a falling dollar, don't they have to keep raising rates? Even if that sinks the market? Don't you think that fed is stuck between a rock and a hard place? From Ben; <Therefore, the Committee will be vigilant to ensure that the recent pattern of elevated monthly core inflation readings is not sustained.> I would appreciate your comments Steve
