What Did He Say Exactly?

Alan Greenspan's London address in toto (with footnotes) can be read at this link

So far the results are bullish for the dollar.

Greenspan's first footnote refers to a June 1980 article from The Economic Journal (p. 314-329) called Domestic Saving and International Capital Flows. That sent me scurrying to my reference library--thank goodness for the internet!

Footnote 6 refers to the correlation between the current account deficit and mortgage refinancing. Pretty interesting stuff. R squared equals 0.7. How bout them apples?
