On other issues, Greenspan unleashed a broadside over what he termed "archaic" procedures for settling trades in the huge over-the-counter credit derivatives market.
"I was shocked to find the credit derivatives market, which was working superbly, ends up with the settlement and clearing done with 19th century technology," Greenspan told the futures conference.

Successive administrations had overpromised benefits to the point where the United States faces a "serious ethical problem," he said.

#2 PROFILE FOR MY MARKET "HOBBY" BLOG
I have been writing about stocks and the market since the late 90's. My record of calling the last 2 , now maybe 3 bear markets stands.

I offer NO recommendation to buy or sell equities or trade any vehicle...I just offer my opinion for what it's worth. Consult with your financial advisor before taking any actions. this financial blog is for amusement only.
