If you used his logic, there was no stock market bubble in 2000 since the Dow fell 20% at the same time the Nasdaq was approaching 5500. I don't know. It seems that what you mention actually supports his argument. I only posted it because it is provocative. I am not sure I agree with his analysis as it does not take into account the psychological aspects of a bubble, which are just as important as the purely economic ones on which he concentrates. I'd like to know what he thinks about the real estate market in San Diego, where he presumably lives. vbg.

Hey Sñr. Dude Carranza<g>, I can only think of ONE response to your insightful recognition that there was NO BUBBLE in the NAZ seeing as how the DOW was dropping. The quote comes from Mike Ruppert who made a special post to state that he was changing gears, upshifting, that he had tried to lay out the case as best as possible but for them that still won't objectively examine the evidence and take action, a poem "sometimes the best light to read by is that of a burning bridge" meant that he was SERIOUS. He was a detective for the LAPD until he saw the inside workings. I can sympathize, having grown up in Miami and having seen precisely what he saw, only I saw it as a naive kid of twenty while he saw it as a grown man earning his living dedicated to upholiding the Constitution. He stated "if the first three or four pieces of irrefutable evidence do not convince a jury, the next three or four hundred pieces of evidence won't influence them either". And with that, he said the doors will always be open to late arrivals but he will no longer dwell on laying out the case as he has done in Crossing The Rubicon, his book. So YEAH, THERE WAS NO BUBBLE. (i was forced to sign a loyalty oath<g>) And Greenie said that raising margin requirements would not help. This is done on a regular basis on COMEX to prevent bubbles, so who you gonna believe, Sir Alan Greenspan or your lying eyes? Regards, mthomas
