Two Weeks in the Life of Nouriel Roubini

I call Nouriel Roubini the most connected economist going, and it's a well deserved label. He doesn't sit on his butt, he is out there moving around, making the connections. Here are selected Roubini tweets from over roughly the last two weeks, these kinds of tweets from Roubini are not at all uncommon:
I am off to California for business meetings. Forthcoming tomorrow my plan for an orderly restructuring of the Greek public debt -July 12
---
I am in San Francisco   -July 14
---
 I am in Cusco, Peru for an international macro-policy conference. No time to visit to the Machu Picchu this year on its 100th yr discovery! -July 17
---
I am in Shanghai to give the keynote speech at at a financial institute event  -July 25
---
I am now in Hong Kong after Shanghai for talks & meets -July 26
---
I am now in Sydney after Melbourne. Dual speed growth in Australia where resource sectors & regions are booming while retail/housing is weak -July 28
---
I am keynoting a conference on Hamilton Island on the Great Barrier Reef  -July 29

    Who cares? Are you being paid to advertise for the guy? I just watched this video linked from his website:

    He has nothing interesting or original to say.

    Gee -
    I think RW uses him as a gauge to what the PE/PTB are thinking\upto.

    Yeah, from what I have seen, RW doesn't report on his theory, just uses Roubini as an indication as to what insiders are thinking.

    Originality or high intelligence would probably be a disqualifier for mouthpiece to TPTB.

    Gee, google EPJ+Roubini and you'll see that Bob uses him- as the other comments point out- as a gauge of what's coming down the pike w/r/t policy, political appointments, etc. If we attack Iran in September, I won't be surprised because he tweeted about it a few weeks ago.

    He's VERY connected, and knows what and how TPTB think.

    When does he ever see his kids, or grandkids?
