wow. greenie should have been chartin these instead of runnin his models.

I am gonna nominate you to the Alan Greenspan fan club, the gift that keeps on giving. In the meantime I am going to see if I can find an economist, or hell anyone with a good financial background, that thinks the Fed chairman, manager of liquidity for the economy and banks, should be spending much time paying attention and obsessing over the stock market. I would settle for some wise sage that thinks he should take direction from it exclusively. It might take awhile so don't expect anything soon...
