Robert Pisani is a news correspondent for financial news network CNBC.

Pisani has been with CNBC since 1990. Until 1997, Pisani largely covered the real estate industry and corporate management. Since 1997 Pisani has reported live from the floor of the New York Stock Exchange, surrounded in the flurry of floor traders walking around doing business on the floor. He mainly focuses on activity in major stock market indices, such as the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500.

Pisani was twice nominated for a CableACE award, in 1993 and 1995, but has never won. He also co-wrote a book with his father Ralph called "How to be a Successful Developer". He and his father also taught a course on real estate development at the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania from 1987 to 1992.

Pisani is frequently and jokingly called the "Italian Stallion" by fellow CNBC personality Mark Haines.

In December 2006, Mad Money host Jim Cramer used Pisani as an example of an easily manipulated reporter used by hedge fund managers to spread false statements about a company in order to illegally drive the stock price down. Cramer said, "It’s really important to get the Pisanis of the world and people talking about it as if there is something wrong...". [ cite web
