Tommaso,

Nice summary. RE: Greenspan

He's somewhat in the position of Louis XV:
"Apres moi, le deluge."


And he must know it. He didn't count on the Asia thing, preventing him from giving the markets a series of gentle interest rate hikes to slowly deflate the bubble. If he thought there was "irrational exuberance" back a couple of thousand points ago, he must really be doing some fingernail chewing now. I wonder if Mssrs Clinton and Rubin had anything to do with coercing Greenspan into letting this bubble expand, keeping the populace content with their administration? Nah, the Fed is apolitical, right? And with Zippergate in full swing, Mr. C. must sense that any fall in the markets will change those calmly contented mutual fund holders into a snarling mob, ready to give him and his co-president some form of the Ceaucescu treatment.

As you can see, Tommaso, I am becoming more cynical and bitter by the day (to my own revulsion).

Jack
