How is his view different than what I said? The only important part of his speech is this part, quoted from the article you posted:

Mr. Greenspan, who has repeatedly expressed concern that U.S. stock
prices may be rising to unsustainable levels, on Wednesday offered only a
muted warning. "The level of equity prices would appear to envision
substantially greater growth of profits than has been experienced of late,"
he said.

But he suggested the Fed is wary of intervening to bring those prices
down. "All else equal, a flattening of stock prices would likely slow the
growth of [consumer] spending," he said, "and a decline in equity values,
especially a severe one, could lead to a considerable weakening of
consumer demand."
