on longer timeframe i think he made outcome much worse as i rather agree with Mises:
‘There is no means of avoiding the final collapse of a boom brought about by credit (debt) expansion. The alternative is only whether the crisis should come sooner as the result of a voluntary abandonment of further credit (debt) expansion, or later as a final and total catastrophe of the currency system involved.’

How many times does a damn parrot have to repeat the same nonsense.

The money that BB is printing is akin to putting a rain drop in a thimble. While the credit being destroyed can be likened to pouring out a 5 gallon drum.

THE MONEY THAT IS BEING “CREATED” IS INFINITELY SMALL COMPARED TO THE CREDIT (AKA MONEY) THAT IS BEING “DESTROYED” AND “WITHDRAWN” FROM THE ECONOMY.

How are people not getting this still?

And to be honest, given what he was facing, he’s doing his damndest.

We’re blaming the snp drop on this guy. ARe you kidding?? The world was blowing up and he did what he could.

Now do I believe the FEd should be abolished, for the most part sure. But if we are using the price of assets as an evaluation tool, then what the hell are we doing here. I, for one, believe most equity holders should lose everything based on the fact that their companies are insolvent.

So let’s lay off of Bernanke a bit. If you want to blame him for breaking the US govt’s balance sheet and enslaving the taxpayer, along with that fool obama and those liars and cheaters paulson and geithner, that’s fair game.

But for falling asset prices and high unemployment, unless he really is a wizard, just what the hell does everyone expect him to do. Indeed, these conditions would be necessary preconditions to a sounder economy and business cycle not built on killing the dollar, ridiculous asset bubbles and goofy policies. Unfortunately, we are getting these results in spite of the continued screwed up policies.

I’ll wait a while on BB. Jury is still out.

Great question. As Rob said earlier, Mr. Bernanke is making it awfully difficult for those conservative investors. A laddered portfolio of international and domestic bonds is likely your best bet.

Can you shed some lights on what an conservative saver to do to protect their savings in this massive money-printing, giant treasuries-bubble environment.
