...shareholders and heavy insider selling are among my concerns. On the interest-rate front, though, there seems little cause for worry. The new jitters stem from modestly robust economic figures that suggest a rate increase is in order to slow the economy, and rumors that Federal Reserve chief Alan Greenspan is leaning that way. So what? Six months ago, Asia was falling apart, and everyone thought the economy would sag so much that the Fed would cut rates. Six months before that, the economy was looking brisk, and the Fed did in fact nudge rates higher. But only a year...
...Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan fears, this boiling job market may be heating the inflation pot. Greenspan needs to maintain low interest rates to keep capital flowing into the troubled Asian economies. But the Labor Department report says wages have jumped to a record $12.67 an hour. That's got to put the fear into the Fed. It's unlikely that El Niño can cause enough bad weather -- as it did in March -- to slow the job juggernaut again.

Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan, for one, has abandoned the notion that it is possible to regulate this broad frontier with old-style rules. The burden, he says, has to rest with private industry: Regulate yourselves. "To continue to be effective, government's regulatory role must increasingly assure that effective risk-management systems...
While Suharto has resisted the bitter medicine of the IMF program, Japan is deaf to foreign calls for deeper tax cuts to rouse its long dormant economy, traditionally the engine of growth for the Pacific Rim. Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan warned Congress last week that the Japanese economy was "sinking." Asked whether Japan was doing enough to stimulate the economy, the usually circumspect Greenspan replied, "No, I think...
