It's just a myth in my office that Jewish usually have a more important place in market's heart (maybe because they are so smart with money, and that's why Greenspan's opinion usually defeats Bernanke's). In my opinion market doesnt always think rationally. And I do believe that market do have more faith in one group of people than the other.

It seems that the market doesn't believe in him as much as it believes in Greenspan. Still remember that the 25 bps cut in Dec 11 has no impact on market. Ck,ck,ck.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
