Greenspan says worst of credit crisis over: sources Thu May 8, 2008 3:48pm EDT NEW YORK (Reuters) - Former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan said on Thursday that the worst of the credit crisis is over, according to sources who attended a speech he delivered in New York. Greenspan also said house prices still had a long way to fall and that it was unlikely they would stabilize by year-end, according to meeting attendees who provided Reuters details of the speech at the Alternative Public Strategies Conference. Conference organizers said Greenspan had requested that members of the media intending to cover his speech could only do so in their personal capacity and would not be allowed to report on whatever he said. As chairman of the Fed, Greenspan oversaw the reduction of interest rates to as low as 1 percent, which some critics charge provided fuel for the real estate bubble. Greenspan has vehemently rejected assertions that he is the cause of the problem. US STOCKS-Mining, oil and tech sectors lift Wall St Thu May 8, 2008 4:43pm ED By Ellis Mnyandu NEW YORK, May 8 (Reuters) - U.S. stocks rose on Thursday as a surge in global commodity prices propelled mining and energy shares higher, while technology shares gained after a top strategist said they were a good value. Oil prices rose to a third straight closing record high and metal prices advanced as the U.S. dollar fell, driving up the shares of Chevron Corp (CVX.N: Quote, Profile, Research) and Alcoa Inc (AA.N: Quote, Profile, Research). These two stocks ranked as the biggest positive influences on the Dow. ________________________________________________________ Bergabunglah dengan orang-orang yang berwawasan, di di bidang Anda!
