Bubble Quotes from:

Brought Quotes
It spelled out the truth, and lots of times people don't want to look at that. At first, I thought, 'Wow! This guy's trying to come off as arrogant. He made it, and he's saying that not one of them will get that far.' They all dream of playing Division I college sports, but that bubble might have been burst. It brought things back to reality.
-
Continues Quotes
It's still fears over further disruptions in Nigeria, and the Iranian situation continues to bubble underneath the surface. Whatever OPEC says, the market is unlikely to pay much attention. They lost control of the market last year, and to cut production with oil near $70 would be irresponsible.
-
Bigger Quotes
The bigger bubble is actually in the financing of homes. Mortgage lenders have loosened their lending standards. Rather than telling a lot of would-be buyers, particularly in places like California, that they don't qualify, they're coming up with all sorts of so-called innovative alternative financing.

Badly Quotes
The Fed is trying to do what it can, but the history of the past 200 years is that big booms tend to end badly -- big equity market booms in particular. The Fed so far has done a magnificent job of holding the show together, but we don't know what effects of the bubble are still in the pipeline.

Fill Quotes
I'm trying to be realistic about this thing and I'm obviously a bubble player. Where I am on that bubble is up to Bruce. If people don't get healthy and he needs a guy who can play in several positions, he knows I can fill in those spots if he gets into injury trouble with the other guys.

Actions Quotes
Instead of trying to contain a putative bubble by drastic actions with largely unpredictable consequences, we chose, as we noted in our mid-1999 congressional testimony, to focus on policies to mitigate the fallout when it occurs and, hopefully, ease the transition to the next expansion.
-
Continues Quotes
The environment continues to worsen versus our expectations, and we continue to think the seasonally weak first quarter will be the toughest quarter in terms of year-over-year growth. We also continue to expect the market to strengthen in the second half of the year, when the impact of the dot.com bubble has worked its way out of the system.
-
Adjustment Quotes
The main difference this time is the restructuring of the domestic economy, playing down the excessive debts and other hangovers from the asset bubble of the 1980s, and those adjustments have been done. In the past we've had recoveries driven by export growth but no real adjustment in the broader economy in areas outside of exports and manufacturing.
