Who is Nouriel Roubini?

Question

I heard him on CNBC this AM. He believes that we are in the midst of a recession and will plunge even further as home prices plunge and 700-800 banks are set to fail. Other that that things are OKAY! Yikes!

Answer 1

He's a professor at New York University. Throwing out all sorts of scary predictions is a good way to get yourself some publicity. Be sure to follow up on his predictions next year.
