Everything about Louis Rukeyser totally explained
Louis Richard Rukeyser (
January 30 1933 –
May 2 2006) was a
U.S. business columnist,
economic commentator, and television personality. 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.
Rukeyser took pride in effectively creating the first television show that focused on
Wall Street. With a combination of erudition, plainspokenness, and panache, he made the often arcane workings of the stock market and the economy better known to the mass public for 32 years via
Wall Street Week. His long-lived show was produced by
Maryland Public Television, a
PBS member station, out of their facilities in
Owings Mills, Maryland.

Named by
People magazine 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. 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."
Rukeyser died of
multiple myeloma at his
Greenwich, Connecticut, home on
May 2,
2006. He spent the next eleven years as a political and
foreign correspondent for the
Baltimore Sun newspapers.
Mr. Rukeyser won a second Freedoms Foundation award in 1978 for his newspaper column, begun just two years earlier.
He was granted the first ever GW Loeb award for financial journalism given to a broadcaster.
In 1990 he became the first man to receive the Women's Economic Round Table award "for outstanding service in educating the public about business, financial and economic policy."
In 2000 he received the Financial Planning Association of New York's Malcolm S. Forbes Award for Excellence in Advancing Financial Understanding.
He received nine honorary doctorates for his work as the nation's No. 1 economic educator: from Johns Hopkins University, American University, Loyola College, Western Maryland College, Mercy College, Moravian College, Southeastern Massachusetts University, New Hampshire College and Roger Williams University.
The Fashion Foundation of America named him both the best-dressed man in finance and the most sartorially elegant host in America.
People magazine cited him as 'the only sex symbol of the "dismal science
of economics'.
Playboy magazine, acclaiming him in its own best-dressed list, said he was a "rakish raconteur" and a "personal-style knockout."
