THE REAL REASON INVESTORS HATE BEN BERNANKE: He's Costing Them Money

thenews 2013.05.11 16:23

In recent weeks, a chorus of big-name investors have taken to the media to rage against the "loose money" policies of the Federal Reserve and Ben Bernanke.

Bernanke, these investors rant, is ruining the country.
Benanke's policies are debasing the currency.

Bernanke's policies are creating class warfare.

Bernanke's policies will lead to runaway inflation.

Bernanke is creating a "fake" stock-market rally.

And so on.

To listen to these Wall Street big shots, you'd think that some of the things they're saying will happen were actually happening. But they aren't.

For now, anyway, inflation remains relatively low, the dollar remains relatively strong, the stock market is rising, American companies have record-high profits and profit margins (which is actually not all great), and society is hanging together.

So, what's the real cause of the Bernanke hate?
