So Long Mr Greenspan
31 01 2006Alan Greenspan, acknowledged to be the world’s greatest economic leader of our generation, packed his bags at the Fed today, and headed into what will hopefully be a happy, and is certainly a most deserved retirement. Greenspan is a fascinating and engaging character, and has been instrumental in keeping the US economy, and thus the Global Economy ticking for the past 18 years.
Here’s hoping that his successor, Ben Bernanke will have similar levels of success when he takes up the reins tomorrow morning. He’s not taking the economy on at it’s most challenging time, however, perhaps somewhat omniously, there is a tradition of a major upset in finincal markets occuring just after a new Fed chief takes the reins over the past number of successions.
Did you see what age his wife is?!?
No, how old?
possibly 30 yrs younger than him…………..
Mr. Greenspan bought a waterfront home in my parent’s neighborhood in Florida! I’m told he will not be living there full time, but using it from time to time.
If I see him in the shops I’m following his buying habits.
His wife Andrea Mitchell has been a news reader / reporter for as long as I can remember. She covers mostly foreign stories so as not to conflict with her husband.
