From New York Post THIS GUY CAN RESCUE GREENSPAN AND MARKETS Tuesday,March 13,2001 By JOHN CRUDELE "THE most important guy in the world right now is Peter Fisher. Peter who? Forget about Alan Greenspan. The Federal Reserve chairman had his chance to solve a stock market problem that he created by allowing a speculative bubble to form. Fisher is the guy who now has to rescue Greenspan. Let me introduce you to Peter Fisher. Right now he is the little-known executive vice president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. A Democrat, Fisher had been the fixer during the Clinton administration - the guy who kept in constant touch with the important people on Wall Street who made problems go away. They'd whisper to Fisher that the market was in trouble, and the New York Fed would fix the problem. In no small way, this sort of collusion helped create the problem, but that's a story for another day." complete story http://www.nypostonline.com/business/26334.htm | ||

that's interesting. It's only been in the last week or two that jim cramer of thestreet.com was complaining that all of the street-savvy dems that clinton appointed (rubin, et. al) were being replaced by academics with no real world experience. guess bush bought some real-world know-how. I would think that's a good thing. After all, LT Capital had 2 nobel prize winners on the team. |
