There's no doubt that the stock market boom of the '90s has made a lot of people very wealthy, but a good two-thirds of that wealth remains in the hands of only 10% of the population. The other 90% have been playing catch-up, many with their life savings and retirement money. And now Greenspan is taking it away from them. They feel violated. Interfered with. This isn't money they can afford to lose. Besides, they haven't lost before; their only experience is with a bull market. Why should things change? "I lose half my net worth and there Greenspan is on TV talking about the wealth effect," says Hoyt Brown, who has watched his retirement savings of $88,000 dwindle to less than $30,000 this year. "I'd like him to tell me where that wealth effect is.... I just don't get it." members.aol.com DAK
