‘Not stupid’
So Bob Greifeld, how’d your portfolio do in 2008? “Not that well,” the Nasdaq chief economic officer acknowledged at the National Press Club on Thursday. “I have a fair investment in [Nasdaq]. We didn’t have the best of years in terms of our stock price.”
More Greifeld:
On the economy: “I remain relatively optimistic. I’m a CEO so I have to be.”
On CEOs: “CEOs are not stupid and not all are greedy.”
On the Bernie Madoff scandal: “Villains driven by greed will always be among us. The key is to find them.”
On U.S. automakers: “Three is too many.”
