Marc Faber Video – General Position On The Stock Market And More

“First of all, I do not believe that the central banks around the world will ever, and I repeat ever, reduce their balance sheets. They’ve gone the path of money printing and once you choose that path you’re in it, and you have to print more money. If you start to print, it has the biggest impact. Then you print more – it has a lesser impact unless you increase the rate of money printing very significantly. And, the third money printing has even less impact. And the problem is like the Fed: they printed money because they wanted to lift the housing market, but the housing market is the only asset that didn’t go up substantially. In general, I think that the purchasing power of money has diminished very significantly over the last ten, twenty, thirty years, and will continue to do so. So by being in cash and government bonds is not a protection against this depreciation in the value of money.”

Asia looks like a good bet

I’ve recently been on to Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, of course Thailand, because I have a house there, and Myanmar. that whole region is known as Southeast Asia, and I think that region of 250 million people will continue to grow regardless because you have a relatively high GDP per capita in Thailand, maybe 3,000 or 4,000 US Dollars, and the surrounding countries GDP per capita less than $1,000. And these countries are opening up now, and I think with the trade links and transportation links that are being expanded regardless of what happens in the world, can grow. Provided there is geopolitical stability in Asia which is a big question mark.

Marc Faber – Understanding Bubbles

Marc Faber : “When you print money, the money does not flow evenly into the economic system. It stays essentially in the financial service industry and among people that have access to these funds, mostly well-to-do people. It does not go to the worker. I just mentioned that it doesn’t flow evenly into the system.” “Now from time to time it will lift the NASDAQ like between 1997 and March 2000. Then it lifted home prices in the U.S. until 2007. Then it lifted the commodity prices in 2008 until July 2008 when the global economy was already in recession. More recently it has lifted selected emerging economies, stock markets in Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand, up four times from 2009 lows and now the U.S.” “So we are creating bubbles and bubbles and bubbles. This bubble will come to an end. My concern is that we are going to have a systemic crisis where it is going to be very difficult to hide. Even in gold, it will be difficult to hide.” - in Business Insisder

Marc Faber – 25 Minutes of Economic Sense

Listen in for 25 minutes of economic common sense by Marc Faber

Alasdair talks to Marc Faber, publisher of the Gloom Boom & Doom (new.gloomboomdoom.com) Report. Marc discusses his 40 years of experience in capital markets and the lessons he has learned. He looks at the underlying nature of the American economy and details the problems arising since 2007. Money printing — along with the insidious effects of underreported inflation — is to some extent disguising the sorry state of the US economy. Faber is cautious on China, and when questioned about Cyprus and the loss of depositor funds, raises pertinent points about the problems that deposit insurance may cause and what the ramifications of the bailout conditions in Cyprus may have on otherwise conservative investors.

Even the worst asset has a good price and can double

The worst asset has a price at which a purchase is advisable - it can go up. I always say if Greece can double in price, any garbage in the world can double in price. A while ago the best asset to own was the most widely held hedge fund stock - Apple and it tanked 37 per cent. Now it can rebound but I’m saying it doesn’t matter what you buy, it’s the price at which you buy something that matters.

Deflationary pressures in the markets

Today we have commodities breaking down including Gold. At the same time we have bonds rallying very strongly. If you stand aside and look at these two events, you will see they are deflationary pressures in the system. If that was the case[deflation], I wouldn't buy stocks, or sovereign bonds. The stock markets would be hit by disappointing profits if there was a deflationary environment.

Anything is possible including deflation

Everything is possible including deflation right now. We have gigantic bubbles, Nasdaq bubble in the 1990's, commodities in 2008, these kinds of volatility comes from expansionary monetary measures. Despite all the deflationary pressures, I think we are going to have a major low in Gold within the next couple weeks.

The Rich get richer through money printing

Printing money is the way global governments will evade debt crises, such as the one that affected Europe. That would forestall the crisis rather than solve it, keeping prices elevated for assets like stocks, real estate in some areas and precious metal. Loose monetary policies, including low interest rates, intended as a short-term fix, can have unintended consequences later. Some people will benefit from money printing that deflates the purchasing power of currency, but the middle and lower income classes are being hurt.

Marc Faber on owning Gold

Owning gold is should be viewed as the ultimate insurance policy to cover financial calamity. A 30 percent correction or 40 percent correction cannot be ruled out, but as I maintain, again and again, I’m not going to go and sell my gold.

Marc Faber "I love the Fact that Gold is Finally Breaking Down"; Gold vs. Apple; Patience, Gold, Japan

Marc Faber loves that gold is finally breaking down. The reason is not to gloat, or a prediction. Rather "gold will offer an excellent buying opportunity".

Marc Faber on Bloomberg TV on the Fall in Gold Prices

"I love the markets. I love the fact that gold is finally breaking down. That will offer an excellent buying opportunity. I would just like to make one comment. At the moment, a lot of people are knocking gold down. But if we look at the records, we are now down 21% from the September 2011 high. Apple is down 39% from last year's high. At the same time, the S&P is at about not even up 1% from the peak in October 2007. Over the same period of time, even after today's correction gold is up 100%. The S&P is up 2% over the March 2000 high. Gold is up 442%. So I am happy we have a sell-off that will lead to a major low. It could be at $1400, it could be today at $1300, but I think that the bull market in gold is not completed."

"$1300. Nobody knows for sure but I think the fundamentals for gold are still intact. I would like to make one additional comment. Today we have commodities breaking down including gold. At the same time we have bonds rallying very strongly. If you stand aside and you look at these two events, it would suggest that they are strongly deflationary pressures in the system. If that was the case, I wouldn't buy stocks or sovereign bonds because the stock market would be hit by disappointing profits if there was a deflationary environment."

On gold falling lower if we have a deflationary environment:

"Yes, I agree. That's why I said if the gold market collapse is saying something about deflation and at the same time we have this sharp rise in bond prices and the signals are correct that we have deflation, I wouldn't buy stocks because in a deflationary environment, corporate profits will disappoint very badly."

On whether a deflationary environment is possible right now:

"Everything is possible…In the economy of the cuckoo people that populate central banks, everything is possible. What you have is gigantic bubbles, the NASDAQ in 2000, then the housing bubble and then commodities in 2008 when oil went from $78 to $147 before plunging to $32 within sixth months. That kind of volatility comes from expansionary monetary policies from money-printing."

"All I'm saying is that I think we're going to have a major low in gold in within the next couple of weeks. Gold, as of today, you should actually buy as a trade. I think it can rebound in the next two days by $40."

On why gold will rebound $40 in the next two days:

"Because we are about in gold as oversold and we were essentially during the crash in 1987. From there we have a strong rebound. All I am saying as a trader I would probably enter the market quickly for a rebound of $20 or $40. From a longer term perspective, I would give it some time. We may go lower. I am not worried. I am happy gold is finally coming down, which will provide a very good entry point."

On whether investors should also stay in cash:

"My argument is that you should always have in this kind of high volatility environment a fair amount of cash because opportunities will always arise again and again and if you have cash you can then buy assets at a reasonable price. I think Patience is very important in this environment. The question is, how do you hold your cash? Hopefully not with a Cyprus bank.

Marc Faber to advise Canadian firm Sprott

Toronto-based investment firm Sprott Asset Management has launched its first multimanager fund for institutional investors, drawing on advice from the renowned investor Marc Faber. The portfolio managers will choose securities based on recommendations from a macro committee led by Sprott, Marc Faber, the publisher of the Gloom, Boom & Doom report, and Rick Rule, chairman of Sprott U.S. Holdings. They will also seek recommendations from a five-person group in charge of asset allocation, Wilson said. Currently the firm is substantially more cautious on equity markets than six months ago.

Hold money in Singapore Dollars in a Singaporean Bank

If you have all your money in the bank eventually you may lose up to 40, 50 percent or even 60 depending on the quality of the Bank. If you hold your money in a Singapore bank in Singapore dollars, I think Singapore dollar deposit may be safe. But if you hold US dollar in a Singapore Bank they place it in a Intermarket rate and that deposit may not be safe.

Marc faber : the people who work hard for a living are now vastly outnumbered by those who vote for a living

Gloom Boom Doom: April 2013 Monthly Market Commentary

When a government goes bust in a democracy (and most Western governments cannot possibly meet their unfunded liabilities) the majority of people who have no assets or just a few assets will always find it appealing to collect money from the evil “fat cats” (in the case of the US, the 1% who own 42.7% of financial wealth). It should be obvious that if 80% of the population owns just 7% of financial wealth, they will be tempted to transfer at some point in future, part of the wealth of the 5% or 10% richest Americans to the masses that have no savings.

The problems we face today are there because the people who work hard for a living are now vastly outnumbered by those who vote for a living.

Normally, we analyze various asset markets and individual investment opportunities according to their merits. But now, we also need to think which asset classes are the least and which ones are the most vulnerable to wealth taxes.
