I'm listening to Alan Greenspan *right now* and I would swear on a stack
of bibles that he just talked about "reducing big ass spreads in the
market".

Now, upon further reflection, the only real way I believe I know what he
said (vs. what I heard) is that the only other word that fits the context
and sound space is "big ask spreads".

However, as hard as he tried to enunciate, I couldn't hear the difference.
He said the phrase 2-3 times, and each time (after the first, which got my
attention) I strained carefully to hear it.

I must be losing it if I hear Alan Greenspan making a virtual Jenny Craig
pitch.

And is there a corrolation between big ass spreads and a rise in the
market's volume?
