You replace an icon ordsprog

You replace an icon like Greenspan, in whom the markets had a lot of confidence, and risk premiums have been squeezed to very low levels, and inevitably there is going to be a rise in uncertainty.

Although employment levels remain high, particularly here in Florida, consumers are being squeezed by high energy prices and high levels of debt. Consumers are certainly beginning to curtail their spending in reaction to the rise in gasoline.

For goodness' sake, if the Fed jumped every time the markets did, you'd have to replace Greenspan with a crazed weasel.

If we do go to war, probably as soon as the war begins the markets will take a lift, as they did in the Gulf War. If it's short and successful, the markets could rise, but if it's not -- or if there are nuclear, chemical or biological attacks -- it could be negative for the markets. It would be a huge blow to confidence.

Based on these numbers, the markets should rise, but you have Greenspan and the CPI hanging over us, ... The PPI measures only about 20 percent of the U.S. economy, and the CPI is a far more comprehensive number.

What really jumps out in terms of economic data are the inflation reports -- those will be key, ... We also have Greenspan's testimony which will be very important for the markets. People are trying to get a handle on how much more rates are going to rise.

A bullish orientation towards the front-end of the curve therefore should begin to dominate bond strategies, combined with an avoidance of anything that carries those low-risk premiums that Greenspan finally diagnosed, ... Those assets include real estate, equities, high yield, corporate, and some areas of emerging-market debt.

We still saw growth last year even with higher oil prices. Countries have adjusted, with interest rates still low and structural reforms proceeding. Risk premiums continue to fall, making stock markets more attractive.

If confidence stays at these levels, that will show companies have put their checkbooks away, and the risk of a recession emerges. This level of confidence is indicative of an economy at a standstill.
