"On January 11, Greespan said though the economy was "showing signs of stabilizing there were still significant risks" The market dropped. The following week in a series of "authorized leaks" , unidentified Fed officials said the downbeat message was overplayed and that a rate cut was not all that likely. Then on January 24, Greenspan came out with an optimistic view. It seems contrived and manipulated, IMO." I agree! W tries to manipulate the stock markets, in my opinion. I recall that Poppy Bush use to lean on Greenspan a lot. Clinton, on the other hand, left him alone.
