Anonymous said...: I analyzed the relationship between Roubini's popularity in Google search results and S&P 500 index. The results are pretty interesting. Roubini's popularity is significantly negatively correlated with S&P 500, and a 1 point increase in popularity results in a 114 point decline in S&P 500 index. You can find the article at the following address:
