Wall $treet Week With Louis Rukeyser was once a television program that aired on the public broadcasting networks on Friday evenings After a flap in June 2002, Louis Rukeyser left the program, which is now produced jointly with Fortune magazine.

The program tries to help the individual investor understand the doings of the stock market and invest wisely. The usual program features a special guest and three regular guests. The "regular guests" are investment analysts who appear regularly on W$W.

While Rukeyser was the host, he reported on the opinions of his "Investment Elves," a group of 10 technical analysts who attempted to forecast the market's path over the coming weeks. If you've ever heard of the "Elve's Index," this is the source. Of course many of the elves are also regular guests on the program.

A new program called Louis Rukeyser's Wall Street is carried by CNBC every Friday night at 8:30 P.M. and 11:30 P.M. Eastern time, and is repeated over the weekend on many public television stations.
