Sir Alan Greenspan is largely to blame for this unholy crisis. Greenspan deliberately poured gas on derivatives gambling and other toxic speculative instruments."If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered."

Sir Alan Sugar i was ref to , the Guy wh0 came from working class family on a council estate and started out selling goods from the back of a van.
maybe you hear of him ?0 -
Does that mean that you have followed him into Woolworths shares richardlionheart? I have had them for a little while and enjoyed the Sugar bounce but it seems to have run out of steam for the moment.0

But Alan Greenspan was 'knighted' by the Queen too. He can't himself 'Sir', however, as a foreign citizen - which is just as well really....richardlionheart wrote: »Sir Alan Sugar, I was referring to...

Sugar later admitted he never bought any shares in Woolworths after all...
Sources close to Woolies claimed the stock Sir Alan planned to buy was frozen by order in an Icelandic bank..
The rumour was good for the bounce though, as you say... Woolies' shares closed up 0.02p on Friday at 4.08p.ft.com wrote:Analysts were puzzled that Sir Alan would invest in a company whose auditors, PwC, say there are “material uncertainties which may cast significant doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern”. So great are the worries over the chain’s financial health that credit insurers have withdrawn cover from some of its suppliers.
