As long as credit is easy, the bubble will expand.

yes indeed,

but why the continuing conundrum of falling rates then?

there is no national housing bubble

there are unambiguous local bubbles to be sure (i.e. orange county, LA, parts of FL, DC, etc) but those are the result of the risky and 'imaginative' financing schemes that have developed to push the demand

you deal with micro bubbles with micro tools (tightening underwriting requirements)

but alas, he'll probably continuing to swing the same blunt instrument he used when he went after the tech bubble "irrational exuberence"

so what do you think, what does the bond market know that greenspan doesn't?
