Kendall: I haven't read Mr. Greenspan's entire text, but one line seemed important; "Our goal is to extend the expansion by CONTAINING IT'S IMBALANCES and avoiding the very recession that would complete the business cycle."
Among the (many) imbalances that could be cited, it's my sense that Mr. Greenspan remains worried, as he has been for the past three years, about "asset inflation"...rising stock prices, and this year sharply rising stock prices. A few thoughts; It's an election year. Bill Clinton re-appointed Mr. Greenspan as Fed Chairman 6-months early. There may be an implied quid-pro-quo here...keep the economy and the market on a steady course. A recession or market collapse would be disastrous for Democratic re-election. Also, I am convinced that Mr. Greenspan, while wanting to do the "right thing", does not want to allow a market crash, (or a severe recession) on his "watch." I expect that his actions will remain moderate, reasonable. I think Mr. Greenspan and the Fed, (unless something very unexpected occurs) will continue as he/they have, and not be a hightened market "problem." (Lee)
