Ben Bernanke
Bei Mr. Greenspan war es jeweil ein Vorteil, ihn nicht zu verstehen; das war einfach; man hatte sich schon so daran gewöhnt. Nun, Mr. Bernanke muss man richtig verstehen, dass könnte schwierig werden - irgendwie tut er mir jetzt schon leid... :roll:
After 'lapse,' Bernanke will watch his words

WASHINGTON The Federal Reserve chairman, Ben Bernanke, said that he had made a mistake in talking with a television journalist who then reported his remarks.
The incident roiled financial markets and brought criticism of the Fed chief.
"That episode you refer to was a lapse of judgment on my part," Bernanke told the Senate Banking Committee on Tuesday.
"In the future, my communications with the public and with the markets will be entirely through regular and formal channels."
In the low-water mark of Bernanke's almost four months in office, a CNBC television anchor, Maria Bartiromo, said on May 1 that Bernanke had told her that he was disappointed that some investors viewed him as being dovish on inflation.
The conversation had taken place the previous Saturday, the night of the White House correspondents dinner - an event that many reporters and their guests treat as off the record.
Her live report caused speculation about whether the Fed would pause in its almost two-year campaign of raising interest rates, or keep it going.
It also brought criticism of Bernanke for sending confusing signals, since it came shortly after his testimony to Congress, during which he discussed the prospects of the Fed's pausing as it reviewed the economy.
In addition to raising questions about the communications skills of Bernanke, the incident underscored the fact that a single word uttered by a Fed chief can move stock and bond prices.
Senator Jim Bunning, a Republican of Kentucky, asked Bernanke about the episode during a hearing on financial literacy.
Bunning had opposed the nomination of Bernanke as Fed chief.
"I warned you to be careful about what you say because people are going to follow your words very closely," Bunning said. $@
