Who is filling Louis Rukeyser's shoes today?

[MountainMan]

Some people might remember Louis Rukeyser on PBS's Wall Street Week.  He passed away a few years ago.

Is there anyone today with Rukeyser's charm and easy going spin on the market news today?

[MountainMan]

No?  A pity...

I found this Wall $treet Week episode from just after the 1987 crash.

I think the conversation is pertinent to investing in any time period.

Thanks for finding that, I definitely want to watch it.   I actually watched the show when it first aired, thinking I might be living through historic events. 

[MountainMan]

That's cool that you saw it then. 

I was in grade school in '87 and wasn't watching this program then.  haha

[Bigote]

I was in college.  I didn't normally watch it, but like I said it seemed we might have been living through historic events.  There was no CNBC or BLoomberg TV to turn on, for financial news it was Rukeyser or financial press.

How about Planet Money by NPR?

So i know it's pretty easy to find, "the giant pool of money" from Planet Money/This American Life about the 08' crash.

Is there any such recap for the 2001 crash?
