I heard that once about the stock market, too - it could maybe go up, or down.

Greenspan's pretty savvy, pretty astute.
 
2005-08-26 12:05:49 PM
It can go up or down, come at you from behind or hit you right in the face....er...sorry, what were we talking about again?
 
2005-08-26 12:06:07 PM
Thank God we've got him around.
 
2005-08-26 12:06:24 PM
The chances are 50/50.

What if it stays the same?

Some prognosticator he is.

Why does Alan Greenspan hate America?
 
2005-08-26 12:07:25 PM
Show some respect!

Alan Greenspan will be either right or wrong.
 
2005-08-26 12:07:34 PM
And yet its news-worthy enough to make fark
 
2005-08-26 12:07:48 PM
I am absolutley sure there might be a probable chnance that the economy may move in a significant direction in the foreseeable future given the mitigating circumstances involved in the production of certain products and the availibility of some services...

Yeah, I am absolutely sure of it... I think. I'll have to get back to you on that.

It's an Auto-greenlight Greenspan thread.
 
2005-08-26 12:08:50 PM
God, whats with all the "Boobies" combinations. Do you really think that makes you cool to the rest of us here?

Yay, its not gonna stay the same!!! Rejoice everyone!!
 
2005-08-26 12:10:12 PM
Seriously, why do they need this guy anyway. Wouldn't a chimpanzee throwing darts be a better forecast of the economy?

/Plus, you could sell tickets. People like monkeys.

Greenspan. The man who makes watching paint dry look fun.

The man who makes regular CSPAN programming look lively.
 
2005-08-26 12:11:42 PM
Stupid? Only the headline by someone who obviously doesn't understand the article.

I am either pleased or displeased by this report. I may, or may not care, one way or the other.

and that folks is just about the text-book definition of a tautology.

/didn't rtfa, yet
 
2005-08-26 12:13:43 PM
Well, that certainly sets my mind at ease

His job is a little more important that people here give him credit for. In addition, he's done a great job at it.

I'm hoping that farkers are just immature and not just so ignorant of economics that they don't know what the fed chairman does.

The comments posted here after the fed raises overnight lending rates dont give me much hope.

Oh fark!! its not gonna stay the same!1 Sell! OMG! Sell!!11eleventy

So, what are the results of your analysis of the world economy?
 
2005-08-26 12:15:07 PM
I either RTFA, or I didn't.
 
2005-08-26 12:15:18 PM
that's it, i'm applying for his job when he kicks it.

Mine is just fine.
 
2005-08-26 12:16:32 PM
There is a definate possiblity of a firm maybe that something , in fact, is going to occuur, in relation to the forces that control the situation at hand, theretofore, we should accommodate this and prepare post haste for the outcome that is inevitable....

It will either get worse or better.

robolobo,

It will either improve, or it won't.

Alan Greenspan: walks out to podium, shuffles papers, says "Tottering." gathers papers together again and starts to walk out, stops, steps back up to the podium, "Definitely on the fence" , turns and leaves
 
2005-08-26 12:17:40 PM
Even more stupid. A bunch of people posting that obviously didn't even read the article. What exactly is the point behind that?
 
2005-08-26 12:17:48 PM
judasmachine: that's it, i'm applying for his job when he kicks it.


Then you share his concern about investors perceiving protracted periods of low risk premiums as structural changes?

"Its up, Its down, It's all over the place, what an asshole"

Economy is doing great? Bad? All I know is if the price of gas increases much more, I won't be able to afford to go to work.
