It's hard to ladder the Fed members like you might do Bonds. I mean, one of them retire and bring on a new person to learn from the well experienced members; and then, another old member retire, and so on. Tell the truth, I wouldn't want their job or that of Bernanke's, or be the chairman at anytime; otherwise, I'd be telling a lot of the bigwigs where to go and how fast.
Anyway, the U.S. markets will speak to-morrow, and we'll see how much confidence they have in their Fed, and political leaders.
Also, I tend to think the Sector Rotation Model (or Cycle) is playing out, financials and some consumer staples will be the next place to go. Not immediately . . . wait awhile. See the Sector Rotation Model, down the page. Hope the link works O.K.
