If anyone cares to comment on the following, I'd be interested in opinions. Recently I've read an article about Mr. Greenspan that mentioned him being flocked by security forces. We know the course of events that would take place in the event of the President not being able to perform his duties, but his term is coming to an end and the vice president is expected by many to take the helm anyway. Would an assassination by one of Bin Lauden's fanatics or (not being a young man) a stroke or heart attack causing Mr. Greenspan to be incapacitated, light the fuse on a uncontrollable course of events? Would currency flows and market actions be so upset that even a plunge protection team could not prevent a crash? Would currencies crash? would world-wide markets crash? would a stampede to gold occur? HOW IMPORTANT IS HE? The powers that be must have plans for such an event if it happened without warning, what would they be? 5%, ya never know.
