Nouriel Roubini Settles On New Nickname

By

nourielroubini.jpgMuch has been written about Nouriel Roubini’s quest for a new nickname. Sadly, despite a great job by the Dealbreaker commentariat in finding a new moniker, Roubini has decided to go with one suggested by CNBC. Roubini the Realist, because “I’ve always said that I’m Dr. Realist rather than Dr. Doom; it’s important to be right, not pessimist or optimist and that’s how it is.”

    So after eight years at Doom school plus residency he doesn’t absolutely insist on being called Dr?
