Michael, I believe Greenspan was asked during his most recent congressional testimony whether the Fed. now regretted, or saw error in their restrictive policies of last year. My recollection is that he responded with a resounding "no", citing excessive investment demand and growing economic imbalances in justifying the need for higher rates. I heard this to mean that the investment bubble couldn't continue as it was, although perhaps he had inflation concerns in mind when referring to economic imbalances.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
