Alan Greenspan famously tried to cool things down in 1996 by questioning whether "irrational exuberance" had gripped stock buyers in the United States. It didn't work: Prices would continue to climb for more than three years before plunging into a prolonged downturn.
Now Chinese securities regulators are hoping to knock some sense into investors there. So much money is pouring into stocks that the benchmark Shanghai Composite Index has more than doubled in the last year to a record high.
