The end of the crisis

RGE - Dr. Doom Has Some Good News

Nouriel Roubini, the New York University economist who accurately forecast the bursting of the housing bubble and the resulting economic contraction, has become famous for his pessimism—he has been the gloomiest of the doomsayers. Which is what makes his current outlook surprising: Roubini believes that the Obama administration’s policy makers—and especially the much-maligned Tim Geithner—have gotten a lot right. Pitfalls may still abound, but he is now projecting an end to the recession, and he sees growth ahead.

This, to me, definitely marks the end (R.I.P.) of the global financial crisis. Hopefully, we will not see anything like this during our lifetime again. This was my first experience in the markets (started in Australia in January 2009) and it has not been a pleasant one. Hopefully it gets better from now on.
