Louis Richard "Lou" Rukeyser (January 30, 1933 – May 2, 2006) was an American financial journalist, columnist, and commentator, through print, radio, and television. He was best known for his role as host of two television series, ''Wall $treet Week with Louis Rukeyser'', and ''Louis Rukeyser's Wall Street''. He also published two financial newsletters, ''Louis Rukeyser's Wall Street'' and ''Louis Rukeyser's Mutual Funds''. Named by ''People'' as the only sex symbol of "the dismal science" of economics, Rukeyser won numerous awards and honors over his lifetime. Rukeyser was famous for his pun-filled humor, and for trying to get investors to ignore the short term gyrations and think long term. In answering a letter on investing in a hairpiece manufacturer, he quipped that "if your money seems to be hair today and gone tomorrow, we'll try to make it grow back by giving the bald facts on how to get your investments toupee." ==Biography== Rukeyser was born to a Jewish family〔Silbiger, Steve (The Jewish Phenomenon: Seven Keys to the Enduring Wealth of a People ) p. 79〕 in New York City, the second of four sons of financial journalist Merryle Stanley Rukeyser and Berenice Helene (née Simon) Rukeyser.〔"Merryle S.

He was also a member of the University Press Club.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Our Alumni )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Louis Rukeyser」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
