Does Bernanke know best?

Hello traders everywhere.  Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub, with your 1 p.m. market update for Wednesday the 22nd of June.

Yesterday it was Greece, today it's Ben Bernanke and the FED. What is really going on with the equity market is that no one has strong feelings either on the upside or downside .
