<P>Excerpt from today's Market Rap w/ Bill Fleckenstein at <A 
href="http://www.siliconinvestor.com";>www.siliconinvestor.com</A>
<P>mentions Greenspan's latest attempt to rig the markets, in order to keep the 
(disaster waiting to happen) bubbles alive.&nbsp; I can't say enough bad things 
about this criminal Greenspan.&nbsp; What will he say when the US is plunged 
into the next depression that he was one of the chief architects of 
?&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I can't be alone in seeing this maniac for what he is.
<P>----------
<P><B>Hit 'em where it hurts...</B> It's interesting that Greenspan doesn't seem 
to notice what the folks at the New York Merc have noticed about heating oil. 
This morning, Joanie pointed out: 
<P>"Y'all know about the cold snap and the resulting surge in prices which led 
crude along, right? Well, <FONT color=#0000ff><STRONG><U>they busted heating oil 
yesterday 11 percent in the blink of an eye. How did they do that? (Al. Pay 
attention here.) Besides the call for milder temperatures, they had the audacity 
to raise margin requirements for February heating oil - are you ready - by a 
steep 80 percent, effective on the close yesterday. This margin hike (which Mr. 
Greenspan feels is ineffective in controlling stock levels, for example) is on 
the heels of a 25-percent margin hike last Friday on crude and products future 
trade. So, if you want to weed out the speculators, hit 'em in the pocketbook, 
right?" </U></STRONG></FONT>
<P>It just goes to show you that raising margin requirements does cool 
speculation, and it's a much more effective tool than raising interest rates. Of 
course, when Greenspan raises interest rates he just prints more money, but 
that's a different topic. </P></FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
