NYU Stern Professor Nouriel Roubini is famous for anticipating the current economic crisis and infamous for his wild partying. He did a bit of both on Sunday, predicting the end of the world in the morning and accordingly partying like it was his last day on earth at night.
Just like those obnoxious kids from your high school who clog up your news feed with three albums chronicling their trashy Halloween 30 seconds after it ended, Roubini posted photos on his Facebook of his shindig with Oliver Stone along with a caption, “We hanged [sic] out in my loft Sunday after Halloween for a post-Halloween survival dinner and party.” The description is unintentionally as morbid as his op-ed in the Financial Times that morning.
“Risky asset prices have risen too much, too soon and too fast compared with macroeconomic fundamentals,” which in apocalyptic fashion will one day lead “to the biggest coordinated asset bust ever.”
I’ll leave the dirty puns up to your imagination.
