Quote from piezoe:
I believe the lessons learned from the Greenspan Fed will sink in and that the Fed will be able to unwind without to much havoc when the time comes. But only time will tell. If mistakes are made, I believe they will be new mistakes.
What a laugh. Yes, even a whisper of unwind has caused more volatility than has been seen in a long time. The real thing - if it ever occurs - will be a walk in the park, right?
As far as mistakes go, the fact that they are new doesn't make them any less painful.
