Safe Haven | The Fed Opts for Growth, Ignoring Imbalances and Inflation
Richard Russell dug up the following quote from Alan Greenspan - from 1996:

"The excess credit which the Fed pumped into the economy spilled over into the stock market -- triggering a fantastic speculative boom. Belatedly, the Federal Reserve officials attempted to sop up the excess reserves and finally succeeded in braking the boom.

Alan Greenspan, The Objectivist, 1966
