Roubini is good, be he’s not perfect: he, himself, bought a place in NYC, relatively recently; he disdains gold; he has odd socialist/paranoia ideas about government and sectors of the the economy (e.g., the Halliburton bashers); he does not think our upcoming/underway recession will tip into a depression.
But, I think he does a great job analyzing the current and historical data, and projecting the near-term implications.
Roubini has been premature in his recession call. But not wrong; it’s underway, now.
I’m a very happily married heterosexual male, and will leave the Roubini lovefest comments to ps and Perry.
