investors should have approximately 50% of their money in Emerging Economies

Marc Faber : In general, investors should one day have approximately 50% or more of their money in emerging economies. I have all my money in emerging economies for the money that they allocate to real estate and to equities. Of course I also have bonds in the developed world and also cash in on the developed world, but in general, I am very optimistic about the emerging economies. But that does not change the fact that over the last few months, in fact since April because I saw that April would be a high for the S&P at 1219, I have taken some money off the table because a correction is overdue. - in ET Now

US vs Emerging Economies

I think the world has to learn that the US is no longer as relevant as it was 20 years ago to the global economy
. I mean the share of the US in the global economy has diminished very substantially you have higher car sales in China than in the United States and by the way car sales today in emerging economies including Indian, Latin American, China and so forth are larger than in the G-16 countries. In other words it is larger than in Western Europe to US and Japan combined so also oil consumption in emerging economies today is larger than in the developed countries. So we are dealing with the totally new world. There has been a huge shift in the balance of economic power between the rich countries, the arrogant countries of the west and the emerging economies that are coming up and that also will lead to tensions in my opinion political and geopolitical tensions - Marc Faber
