C'mon, guys, it doesn't a philologist to see that he is saying "Yes."

Q: "Is the market gripped by irrational exuberance?"

A: "These markets are highly valued (which) leaves me without terribly much doubt (that the market is gripped by irrational exuberance) at this time."

He also said that it's not the job of the Federal Reserve to intervene to save the stock market. Which is true. It's not in the charter, period. It is in their charter to try to eliminate or damp down inflation and deflation to protect the money supply. Greenspan clearly stated the economy is very strong, he said something like "anyone who wants a job can find one."
