"It seems AG just told the investor to gamble."

The more I consider it, the more I agree with you. It is hard to imagine a more irresponsible thing for Greenspan to have said. He may have meant to make it cautious and idirect, but coming from him it's saying, "Jump in with all four feet! Who knows? You might win!"
