Excuse me, but sorry - the guy's an asshole. No un-elected official should hold the position of power he has (just about the 2nd most powerful guy in the world for most of us poor slobs). The guy speaks in circles and sticks his nose into financial market matters where ought not to. Where the the head of the fed get off telling the market that it's too high ? I could go on for hours, but I have to go home and eat dinner sometime. Sorry for the off-topic comment, but it touched a nerve !

Thanks Eric,..Re:<<Greenspan>> If people really wanted some other type of Fed, all they need do is look to Europe, maybe Germany or the UK or even Russia to find how the overall economy should be guided. In that event I think we would hear lots more whining about lack of returns and increased Government intervention. Thanks for stating the obvious. Lee PS I forgot to add, maybe everyone is so accustomed to their 30% or better gains per year they forgot who laid the groundwork for that to happen. Also, he's the last one in the pocket of the dark side or government, however they choose to view it.

chuz,greenspan victims: Fed targets DJIA next as a cause of inflation. now that rising wages doesn't happen. now that the cpi and other cost of living indicators actually show deflation. now that the asian crisis has proven beneficial. now that budget deficits are gone and actually turned into surpluses. now that the cost of goods doesn't go up at all. no wage cost inflation. no price inflation. no deficits. these were his excuses for raising rates before; they don't work now and are not likely to anytime soon in the NEW ERA. So what will Alan do? i tell you the fed will soon come close to revealing its real mission (which i described earlier in my more facetious post): to raise interest rates as needed to keep US financial power in the hands of secret society of all male, Eastern, WASP, Ivy League-educated, Skull and Bones plutocrats and the prep school educated flunkies who marry their daughters. BUt first Alan will have to come up with a new pretext and it will be--THE STOCK MARKET IS TOO HIGH AND THIS IS A WARNING OF INFLATION TO COME. (I.E. THE NEWLY RICH WILL SPEND THIER MONEY AND THIS IS BAD) USING THIS NEWLY MANUFACTURED INDICATOR, THEY WILL DRIVE THE MARKET DOWN FOR THE GOOD OF THE COUNTRY. (FOR COUNTRY READ "ALAN'S EMPLOYERS" i AM NOT KIDDING GO TO THE FED WEB SITE. AND LOOK SOME OF GREENSPAN'S RECENT SPEECHes. they are already contemplating using the DOW Jones average as a target, citing the "bubble" experience of Japan's market. this is an outrage and i say impeach the s.o.b if he tries to do this. so far since i've owned dell the one thing that has driven the stock down the most is greenspan. not compaq or gateway or the whisper numbers. but greenspan. if you could put greenspan remarks on a chart like earnings reports or splits you would see. and what really pisses me off? there is no need for this exercise. the stock market is fine. leave it alone. the economy is fine. leave it alone. but no, greenspan's bosses have told him to f**k the rising middle class. this a blood sport for some of these Old Blues. jhg

re Greenspan Eric, Thank you for an excellent post on Greenspan. I think he is doing a superior job. Let's face it, his job description does include more than just the welfare of us DELL longs. <vbg> And if DELL goes down, as every stock occasionally must, it provides opportunity. DELLish, 3.
