This is the sweet spot, as Greenspan is set to retire. The support for this market has taken away all risk, mark my words US equity markets will be up 10% by year end, and every dip will be bought.
were you around when GSPN took over from cigar chomper? who preceeded him? remember what the markets did?
it is a bit scary to think of who might replace greenspan. he is the master. fortunately, there are tons of cash around looking for something to do.
