Cosmetic Taper is possible

Now there has been talk about tapering for the last 6-8 months, but in my view if they taper, it will be a very cosmetic gesture and on any sign of further economic weakness, or if asset markets decline again like the stock market drops 10-20 percent they will actually increase the asset purchases. My sense is that the Federal Reserve will continue to buy assets in order to try to support the asset markets.

There is Value in Precious Metals Mining Companies

Faber said that the nomination of Janet Yellen to head the Federal Reserve could lead to an even bigger bubble. "With all this collection of dovish professors at the Fed, that actually the asset-purchased programs could be increased—not tapered, increased," he said. "There's no great value in equities with very few exceptions, but it can become even more overvalued." The Nasdaq was overvalued in the summer of 1999 but continued climbing until March 2000, Faber noted. "The fact that the market goes up doesn't necessarily make it good value," he said. Faber said that he saw value in mining companies, particularly precious metals. - Marc Faber via a recent CNBC interview:
