msc 18,466 Posted January 1, 2019 Just now, the_engineer said: I'm going to take you to the bank Mr Greenspan the bloodbank. Greenspans memoirs are quite engaging. But even more engaging is Soros's, where he tears into the version of events in Greenspans! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nasquacker 28 Posted January 3, 2019 If only he actually did die last year, then I would've had 12 hits. But he's still on my list this year due to that incident. He can't have much more time to live can he? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drol 11,946 Posted January 15, 2019 One of the worst picks this year, as he is still out and about. Yes, he will prove me wrong, but as of now he's just waisted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gcreptile 10,972 Posted January 1, 2020 Yes, he is a legendary figure, but as long as he is omnipresent in the media, it's too early. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted March 5, 2020 3 minutes ago, Book said: Whoever that is, today is his 94th birthday. He pretty much dictated the world's economy throughout the 1990s. He was the Chairman of the Federal Reserve under Clinton and then Bush Jr. If he said interest rates went up or down, stock markets and banks worldwide reacted on his every word.

The Daredevil 1,189 Posted November 21, 2020 Seems to be in good form for a 94 year old. I think he may still have a few years left. https://edition.cnn.com/videos/business/2020/11/19/alan-greenspan-pandemic-economy.cnnbusiness Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
