Linden, Like most high govt. officials, he is required to have his money managed in either a blind trust or keep it in T-Bills. (as though his job doesn't impact t-bill returns.) A blind trust means that Ray Charles manages the money. <g> Actually, it means that his advisor can buy anything he wants, but he can't tell Greenspan what his investments are. Of course, some would say there could be a bit of nudge, nudge, wink, wink going on, but I doubt it. I don't really think wealth is AG's thing. Power and the applause of the crowd seems more his cup of herbal tea.
