Roubini and Taleb discuss the crisis

Nouriel Roubini and Nassim Taleb ("Dr Doom and the Black Swan") discuss the crisis --and what to do about it. The CNBC journalists seemed to be asking them for stock tips but Roubini and Taleb only discussed fundamental solutions.

These vapid CNBC cheerleaders of self promotion appear retarded in the presence of the brilliant Roubini and Taleb.

Are all TV talking heads as airheaded as this bunch?

[jojodesal]

@neglesaks yes

[karlitotito]

See! A Jew and an Arab, together, agreeing on stuff!! There is a future!!!

These talking heads persist in thinking that there are plenty of good investment opportunities in a broken financial system. These morons would go sailing on the titanic if only they could find a sturdy deck chair.......

[rmondave]

Unfortunately the Talking Heads must address the least common denominator of the audience, which is quite low indeed.

These ignorant journalists are the same idiots that ignored the signs of the crisis. They hate Nouriel because they are scared of bad news which got us into this situation in the first place. Had thet actually listened to them instead of being puppets for Wall Street we might not be in the situation we are now. These are also the same type of journalists who will be telling everyone to invest before the next collapse.

Nouriel and Nassim must be listening to these reporters and thinking, "Can I go home now? These people are idiots.".

I do not claim to be smart and practically retarded on the topic of economics....but these two guests are bright lights...

Wow - the difference between the intelligence of Roubini and Taleb on the one hand, and the vapid stupidity of the TV personalities is incredible.

I'm glad I don't have access to television, including CNBC. It would only make me stupid.
