Marc Faber on prostitutes and beer and The US Economy

marc faber
"The federal government is sending each of us a $600 rebate. If we spend that money at Wal-Mart, the money goes to China. If we spend it on gasoline it goes to the Arabs. If we buy a computer/Software it will go to India. If we purchase fruit and vegetables it will go to Mexico, Honduras and Guatemala. If we purchase a good car it will go to Germany. If we purchase useless crap it will go to Taiwan and none of it will help the American economy. The only way to keep that money here at home is to spend it on prostitutes and beer, since these are the only products still produced in US. I've been doing my part .

Marc Faber S&P 500 May Drop 20% on Economic, Earnings Prospects

Marc Faber
“The market has become overbought,” Marc Faberpublisher of the Gloom, Boom and Doom report, told Bloomberg in a phone interview from Davos Switzerland. “There isn’t a meaningful improvement in the economy taking place. The economy may disappoint somewhat in the next few months. The statistics that are being published are very questionable. The economy has stabilized, but isn’t really expanding.” Marc Faber said
With unemployment staying at a relatively high level and with the revenue side being weak, I don’t think that corporate profits will be that great in 2010,” Faber said. “Basically, the profits have been boosted by aggressive cost-cutting. The revenue side of corporations is weak.”

Marc Faber on Sovereign Debt Crisis and Bernankes Bubbles

marc faber
"In some areas of the US, housing prices have been rising at almost 30% per annum in recent years and overall prices have doubled since 1997. The question, therefore, arises when this housing boom, which was fueled by ultra low interest rates and allowed people to refinance their homes, will come to an end. This is an important question because US consumption since year 2000 was not driven by capital spending and employment gains, but purely by asset inflation in the housing market, which allowed people to take out larger and larger mortgages and spend the additional funds (well understood, "borrowed funds") on consumer durables such as cars and consumer non-durables. Now, however, there is a problem with the housing market. If the US economy continues to strengthen, interest rates, which are negative in real terms, will have to rise considerably and this could lead - if not to a housing crash - so at least to a less buoyant market. In addition, as we can see from the figure below (courtesy of Bridgewater), the inventories of unsold homes are at a record. Therefore, should higher interest rates, driven by a stronger economy, lead to less home purchases by individuals, home-builders who are holding these inventories could get hurt quite badly"The Bubbles Mr. Greenspan has Created by Marc Faber Gloom Boom Doom Report

Marc Faber Defaults on sovereign Debt Will Proliferate

Marc Faber
By: Antonia Oprita
Associate Web Producer, CNBC.com
Defaults on sovereign debt are likely to proliferate in the next crisis, Marc Faber wrote in his latest "Gloom, Boom & Doom Report."
The US will likely try to inflate its way out of its fiscal deficits, but many other countries do not have this option as their external debts are denominated in foreign currencies, Faber, who will guest host "Squawk Box Europe" Friday, wrote.

At some point, market participants will have second thoughts about the ability of governments to pay their debt and will shun sovereign credit, which in turn will take yields higher, accentuating the problem, according to the report.

"Investors who rushed into government-guaranteed debts in 2008-2009 in the belief that AAA-rated governments would always pay the interest on their debts and repay the creditor in full upon maturity could be in for a rude awakening sometime in the next 5 to 10 years," Faber wrote.

Marc Faber Asia A growth story

Marc Faber
"Asia can grow without the US and without the consumption increasing in the US. Secondly, one of the drivers for economic growth in Asia, particularly in India, is the real estate market. But, in many countries including India, Vietnam and China there is hardly any mortgage market. So that can be expanded very dramatically. From within the country they can easily grow around 5- 6% without foreign trade and with foreign trade in my opinion around 7-8%.." says Marc Faber

The global economy is on steroids says Marc Faber

Marc Faber
In an interview with ABC Australia December 30th, Marc Faber explained that the global economy was on streoids for the past 9 months :
"The global economy has been on steroids for the past nine months and on that basis it's hardly surprising that equity markets have shot away."

He says there has been "a dash for trash" by investors, but the big challenge facing the world will be what happens when stimulus spending by governments fades away.

"The big question is going to be for 2010 is what happens when we come off the drugs and we take away the steroids?"

"Are we going to be in a position to actually still see the global economy growing overall and are we going to see the equity markets sustain their levels and sustain their growth."

Marc Faber still hyper bullish on Gold

Marc Faber
According to Bullionvault Marc Faber is still advising investors to buy gold even at the present prices Marc Faber believes that Gold is the most interesting currency people should invest in "Gold remains the best bet as a currency these days because of the fact that the yellow metal supply is extremely limited. Gold at the current price of $1110 per ounce is less expensive than when it was sold for less than $300 per ounce years back..."
He was reported as saying in his first 2010 interview
"A company's stock could be less expensive at $100 than when it was selling for $10, because earnings growth has outpaced the appreciation of the shares and therefore its price/earnings ratio has declined. So gold could be cheaper at the current price than when it was at less than $300 because of the explosion of foreign exchange reserves in the world, zero interest rates, the huge debt overhang, and the expectation of further money printing." He added

Watch scanner stocks says Marc Faber

Marc Faber
Marc Faber advises to watch the body scanners companies for this 2010 , after Schipol in the Netherlands many airports around the world have manifested their interest in installing body scanners ...here is what Marc Faber had to say :
"watch scanner stocks. The cowards that tried to blow a hole in a plane got the ball rolling on body scanner-related companies. OSI Systems (OSIS) and L-3 (LLL) are climbing after reports surfaced that the Netherlands will begin using body scanners on all flights from Holland to the U.S. in the next three weeks. The Dutch are asking the EU to force all EU airports to have scanners. U.S. officials are calling for increased use of scanners to detect bomb-making components on people's bodies, according to reports. And the U.S. Transportation Security Administration intends to buy 300 more scanners next year.
That's where some of the action can be found in 2010. Stay tuned for more."

Gold is my favorite currency Marc Faber

Marc Faber

Equities and Gold Marc Faber Investments for 2010


In equities though, investors seem to be obsessed with “what the stock market will do” because they focus almost entirely on stock market indices. There is a possibility that equity markets will move, in 2010 and thereafter, into a volatile trading range as was the case in the 1970s. The point I wish to make is that good stock selection is at least as important as, or even more important than, “guessing” where the markets will go. Even in recessions and down-markets, some companies can continue to thrive.

I think it is important to understand that in emerging economies, where markets are far from being saturated, companies that execute well can continue to grow even in a poor economic climate. So, investors should focus on identifying well-run and promising companies, and fund managers who are conservative, disciplined, and focused.

The love for gold
I am not a perennial gold bug. But, when governments spend far more than they collect in taxes (large fiscal deficits), and when central bankers engage in reckless monetary policies and, instead of treating the causes of the problems (excessive debt growth), treat the symptoms (deflationary forces), gold as a currency does make a lot of sense. I need to clarify one point. When gold recently broke out on the upside above $1,000 per ounce I maintained that, whereas in the past the $1,000 level had been an area of resistance, with gold now above $1,000 it had become an area of support. I also said that if gold failed to hold above $1,000, I would become extremely concerned; and that in such a case a sell-off to $800 could not be ruled out, as failed breakout moves can lead to violent counter-movements. My feeling is that gold will hold above $1,000 and will trend higher over time. In fact, the breakout move of gold above $1,000 could be as significant as the decisive breakout move of the Dow Jones above the 1,000 level in early 1983.

Gold is a bargain at $1100/oz Marc Faber says

Gold Bars

Gold is cheap to buy at $1,100/oz: Marc Faber




Gold remains the best bet as a currency these days because of the fact that the yellow metal supply is extremely limited. Gold at the current price of $1,110 per ounce is less expensive than it was sold for less than $300 per ounce years back,”

”Now, just consider what the impact would be if China were to increase its gold holdings from presently less than 2 per cent of its $2.2 trillion reserves to 6 per cent or 10 per cent. Each 1 per cent increase in gold weighting would mean gold purchases of more than $20 billion, or nearly 600 tonnes,” Marc Faber Said
