Essentially, you could value nothing as something.

And, if the market in general... those buying stocks... had greeted
these valuations with a big yawn, they'd have gone nowhere.

Unless you believe that some kind of secret gov't laser satellite ray
controls people's stock buying behavior, there is simply no way that
artificially high stock prices are the gov'ts fault. If anything,
Greenspan & Co tried to point out aberrations and unrealistic
expectations often... only to have eggs & rotten fruit thrown at him by
the market movers & shakers.



That's what created the false valuations to begin with which created
the heated market which created the bubble.

I don't have it backwards - you do.

Perhaps so, but you're the one looking in an upside down mirror.

Funny, you don't seem to see the contradiction between believing in the
power of a free market, and insisting that a small gov't committee can
control the stock market.
