Greenspan put

(FINANCE) the widely-held belief by most traders or speculators that Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan (s.1987 to 2006) would use monetary policy to ensure that asset prices would not fall below a certain level.

A "put" here refers to the put option, a financial derivative that allows the owner the guaranteed right to sell a fixed amount of the underlying asset for a fixed strike price. A person who has a put for the assets she owns therefore is immune from the risk of those assets falling below a particular floor.

In the case of the Greenspan put, it was widely observed that Greenspan intervened in order to protect gains in asset values; this tended to guarantee that purchases of financial assets during Greenspan's tenure were very unlikely to be mistakes. This, of course, created conditions of moral hazard in the asset markets. particularly in financial stocks and in housing prices.

The outcome of that (October 1994) rate cut turned out to be far worse, as the committee's actions came to be viewed as the Greenspan Put, meaning speculators could take enormous amounts of risk trusting that Greenspan would do anything to stop the market from a serious decline.

Putting On A Clinic

1) To excel competitively in an area or sport of some sort. Especially in convincing fashion. Also, going so far as to to rub it in the face of opposition that they are being completely out played.

2) To completely embarass an opponent in competition. As if you are using your skill to punish, and not being humble at all.

Quincy: Damn Smalls. You really don't give a fuck who girl you taking anymore!
John: Ha yeah Tune I'm putting on a clinic in taking other niggas bitches.
