Someone on the bearforum pointed this out, and it is a question which also bothers me.. It's talked a lot about on here and Nolands column , but nowhere else. Are we the only ones who know about this? <<Re: No credit Bubble Discussed!!!! Posted By: Bim Date: Saturday, 13 January 2001, at 7:07 p.m. In Response To: Barron's Round Table Discussion (Exubearance) The panel was not questioned about the credit bubble. It is a puzzle to me. John Neff (an old line, experienced fund mgr I believe it was Vanguard Windsor) talked about consumer debt a little. He said that talk of the consmer being tapped out perhaps was not true. He cited the fact that for the last 20 years mortage & fixed cost consumer debt ranged between 11.5%-14%...Today it is 13.5%. Otherwise there was no discussion save one throwin remark by Art Samberg who said, "you could have a financial accident"... Are they afraid to talk about the explosion of credit or does it really exist to the degree we think it does??.....Any thoughts???? >>
