Bernanke gets blasted on BloggingStocks


Feeling like you're all alone in your contempt for Ben Bernanke, our new Fed Chair? Read the comments to my post yesterday, "Why Bernanke's Words Whacked the Market" and you'll no doubt feel a pleasant sense of solidarity.

The scorn BloggingStocks readers have heaped upon Bernanke since I wrote that last post has stunned me. One reader compared him unfavorably to his pet beagle, another suggested he must be working for Osama bin Laden. And those were the nice comments.

Here's another reason to go read them -- these folks are remarkably well-informed about what is going on in the market and darn good writers (we expect that of BloggingStocks readers, but still, I'm impressed!). Ben, looks like you've lost the support of the cream of the crop of the investing class.  And that's putting it mildly.

The typical pattern for blog posts (same goes for message boards), is that one person trashes something in the post and then at least three readers write in to take the opposite position. But so far, in 15 posts, not one person has leapt to Bernanke's defense.

Friends of Ben, please stand up!
