<< For a free market economy, the government officials should not say anything to influence the stock market, let the economy and the investors make their own decision of investment. >> Everyone does make their own decision. Many people also freely decide to allow others to influence their decisions (which may or may not be wise). Mike

"Next month when DJ index hits 7500, Mr. Greenspam will say that inflation is not a problem, and the stocks have much room to grow. He is just purely monopoly of the stock market. For a free market economy, the government officials should not say anything to influence the stock market, let the economy and the investors make their own decision of investment. " On the other hand... The market doesn't mind if the DOW Races to 9000 but if it drops 500 points in a Day they "Shut Down" !.. they seem to manipulate the market as well... letting it ascend uncontrollably yet controlling the descent. JMO... earlyj

I have to say that I am surprised that US Government officials such as Greenspan can state in public their views on whether the market is too high or too low and where it is heading in the near future. This does not happen here in the UK and if it did the individual concerned would be subject to very heavy critisism. If the market is too high or low then investors will act accordingly sooner or later. I trust Greenspan is not a market investor!
