Jim Roger's Opinion of Helicopter Ben

Here is a seven minute video on Jim Rogers reflecting on the Grand Wizard Ben Bernanke. It's worth viewing. Notice when he says that housing is in more than a recession that suggests things are a lot more dicey than most people believe. The bottom to the RE market is a while away, so it gives one chance to ponder the effects of the next rate cut scheduled for tomorrow. Unfortunatly, IMHO, the last thing we need is a rate cut.
