Ben Bernanke webcomic Drawing

The job of a Federal Reserve Chairman is, in a phrase, to calm everybody down. Whether you believe him or not, that task is something which the current Fed Chairman, Ben Bernanke, claims to attempt to do with all of his abilities. In order to prevent any carnage on the markets, on fears of the ending of the stimulus program, Mr. Bernanke honed his message and said calmly that he did not intend to end the American financial aid programs that the Bush and Obama administrations have foisted upon the American economy, despite great resistance from the voices of opposition. For the sake of fun, the editorial cartoonist for the binary investor news on July 18, 2013 penned this caricature of Washington's chief fiscal egghead at http://blog.optionsclick.com/2013/07/18/asian-stocks-and-usd-both-gain-on-bernanke-comments . This image first appeared there the day after Mr. Bernanke had gone once again before the committee of the United States Congress which oversees his regulatory institution, to tell everybody to keep calm and keep trading in the world's most influential currency and its financial markets. There is little doubt that one of the main reasons the Chairman's job even exists is to act as a sort of national pacifier or Valium to keep markets from fluctuating too wildly on rumors and speculation. Keeping things in perspective is incredibly important when investors trade online, because it helps them keep their eye on the ball. That in turn helps people make smarter investment decisions. The wiser the action, the more likely it is to see profitable fruits at the end of a term of investment. Decisions made in a panic usually produce the opposite; a negative experience, or a fiscal loss, due to rash decision-making.
