 There are sound reasons for concluding that the long-run picture remains bright, and even recent signals about the current course of the economy have turned from unremittingly negative through the late fall of last year to a far more mixed set of signals recently, ... But I would emphasize that we continue to face significant risks in the near term.
  Alan Greenspan
