The fucker suddenly developed a keen eye for the markets? He couldn't see a tech bubble or a housing bubble if his life was depended on it and now he is an expert.
I mean he is right but we needed his eyesight when he was, you know, in a position to effect overheating markets.
The S&P was actually lower when he said that than it was after the post tech-bubble lows. Sounds like a good time to buy...the masses are fearful again like it's October and the SPX is outrageously high at 2400.OK, maybe I was too harsh on him, after all he did say "irrational exuberrance" sometime in 96 or 98 and the market tanked on it so badly that after that he probably said to himself: "These idiots can't handle the truth, so I will just keep it to myself."
And he did acknowledge that he missed the housing market bubble completely.
But still, I would take Volker any day over anybody...

Irrational exuberance
you think the market cares if the Fed raises interest by 25 basis pts? you are spending too much time listening to the talking heads(financial news reporters).Inflation has been negative the last three months. Fed shouldn't touch interest rates. They should let the market go sideways for a while or correct itself instead of deliberately instigating a crash.
