All you need to know about Greenspan. In late 1998 a Hedge Fund (Long Term Capital Management) was in trouble, Greenspan cut rates 3 times in rapid fashion. In 2001 the American Economy and Greenspan has cut rates 2 times quite grudgingly.

The collapse of the Bull Market has a DRAMATIC IMPACT on the Venture Capital Field.... msnbc.com You can thank Greenspeak and his friends for helping to stifle some innovation. Some of the very best teams with strong business models will get funded but other promising young businesses won't. The public markets message back to the private equity markets quite quickly --> we now have a very cautious and scared VC community. They have many portfolio firms in intensive care and a lot less time to focus on creating revolutionary new businesses....Eventually the pendelum will swing back yet entrepreneurs are going through a tough period of time....JMHO.

I sense a consensus on this thread - and others on SI - that Greenspan is the wrong person for the job, and to a slightly lesser extent, that the Fed should not exist. Yet when I watched Greenspan interact with Congress I felt just like I did when my daughter watches 'NSYNC, a sycophant in the presence of a deity. Is anyone aware of any "public" voice out there that has risen to express disagreement with Greenspeak? Paul PS: Who wants to buy two tickets to the 'NSYNC concert in Chicago's Soldier Field June 16th (she bought too many)? There good ones.
