<...yesterday the assembled finance ministers cameout and said to remain calm...> I agree with you there Limtex! Seeing assembled government officials telling me to remain calm is the thing most calculated to send me into frenzied escape mode. However, in this instance, I think they simply don't have a clue, have nothing to cover up or lie about, so can be simply ignored. Which is not to say there might not be sufficient extra crunching to make plenty more people think a good dose of panic is totally appropriate. Everyone holding their breath? Mqurice PS: <http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/qualcommsrockettothestars Greenspan didn't make the market drop Any more than he caused it to go up. To blame Greenspan for investor hysteria is a cop-out. It demonizes and over-empowers a reasonable man who has done good things in the past (reaction to the asian meltdown for one example). He has only one dial to turn, and people are now frantic that he might turn it. To blame an entire market's herd mentality on Greenspan and/or Clinton is nuts. > In fact, Alan Green$pan just keeps going up in my estimation [old, but good and relevant to stupid "anti-trust" incoherent laws]: news.cnet.com
