Marc Faber: - Gold is an international currency

Marc Faber: Gold is a world currency

Interview by The German TV Infokriegernews.de with legendary investor Dr. Marc Faber. The key messages are:

If you believe what Robert Prechter says, you should monetize all the assets and create all government bonds in 30 year olds Us.

There is a misconception that can take place because of the large debt no inflation.

If the Dow does fall to 10,000 points, the whole system collapses.
If everything collapses, I'd rather be in the gold and have it physically in a locker.

The pension will not fulfill your obligations, because they their money to 40 - 80% have invested in shares.

The problems can move with the printing press, it's like a new coat of paint on a tear, but eventually collapses the building.

FED, A monetary system was based on gold and silver, would contain, the eXess.

Under the gold standard, there was discipline.

In the 19th century came under the gold standard, the industry is that it inhibits economic growth is therefore not proved.

The growth rates in the 19th century were larger than in the 20th.

Gold is an international currency,

The price of Commodities will explode in sight of a probable World Wide War

Marc Faber in Vienna

Dr. Marc Faber :
if China had military bases in Canada in Mexico in the Caribbean sea the Americans also would not be very happy . It is absolutely clear that for China it is strategically unacceptable that the Americans have their bases in Central Asia , The Chinese and the Russians have founded an organization some years ago called the Shanghai cooperation Organization with precisely those countries China Russia Kazakhstan Kyrgyzstan Tajikistan and Uzbekistan and the observers are Iran India Pakistan and Mongolia basically the Russian and the Chinese want to keep the Americans out of Central Asia , absolutely clear it will then overtime lead to conflicts , I would not not expect that one division of tanks will face another division of tanks and that it will come to such a war but the Chinese they do it of course through the north Koreans or using others and they will support of course all the elements that are hostile to the Americans in this region and therefore the afghan war will last a long long time a bottomless pit , i should be obvious , and when it comes to a war and I assume that the financial and the monetary policy in America will not be successful in the sense that the standards of living will improve and over time there will be new problems more inflation and the number of the unemployed will hardly fall as it was in the case after 2001 and the last station will war fighting and then in time of war the commodity prices rise sharply , these are the Napoleonic wars the American civil war World war I Viet Nam War etc..therefore I would recommend investments in commodities..
The bubble in china is not a credit bubble , the credit has not expanded too much , in the last time more , but as a percent of the Gross national Product not especially and the houses prices In comparison with the gross national product and in comparison to the income personal income hey have rather fallen ...but where the bubbles exist in China , the investment bubble are over capacities one has built way too much capacities and therefore is the stimulus program in China actually of no use , because if you have overcapacities in the world you can well print money and supply money then you build even more capacities if the money goes into the private sector , If a businessman has overcapacities then he would not of course build a new fabric , what he will then do with the excess liquidity is to speculate in the real estate and the stock market

Marc Faber : The US National debt is already 600% of the GDP

Interview mit Dr. (Doom) Marc Faber (subtitled)

April 04, 2010 — NZZ Online, 2. Februar 2010
Dr. Marc Faber (Dr. Doom) über die aktuelle Situation an den Aktien-, Rohstoff- und Staatsanleihenmärkten sowie über ein mögliches Zukunftsszenario.
Marc Faber :"I am not sure yet that the recession is lready over because the numbers of unemployed persons in the United States is still increasing and there are several indicators that barely suggest a rebound on the economy , I think that also this year it will not get better because the stimulus packages will already lose its influence So I could imagine that we would not have a basic rebound and that the markets will rather correct "
"The Gold between $950 and $1,050 would be a buying zone "
Dr Doom gives his insights on 2012 Doomsday : "I do not think that the world will end in 2012 , but it is quite clear that there have been no solutions for the financial crisis that occurred , they have moved the problem to the future , they just painted new colors on the cracks of the building "And of course the problems will come back , and when they come back then these countries are affected by national bankruptcies , which are not able to fulfill their obligations anymore "
"According to my calculations it is impossible that the American government can fulfill its obligations because the current deficit is over one trillion , this year 1.6 trillion , And that will not come under one trillion and that increase the national debt .The Total debt is already 375% of the GDP , but that does not still include the not yet covered debts of medicaid medicare and social security, if you would include it then the national debt is already 600% of the GDP , So they have to massively print money in the future that will lead to an inflation and recession in the same time , so they might get into a depression and synchronized an inflation as they have in Zimbabwe , The result will be that they will intervene in a war - and the americans are good in finding enemies around the world , That will end in a big conflict and the whole system will collapse" This scenario won't happen tomorrow but in the next 5-10 years guaranteed Marc Faber added

ECB European Central Bank will bailout Greece

Marc Faber, Investment Guru, says Greece will be bailed out indirectly by the European Central Bank (ECB) that will guarantee some bonds that they are issuing, and these bonds will then be bought by the public or financial institution. But he doesnt think it will work out.

Marc Faber "we went into this crisis with an unprecedented debt level. “If you compare for instance with the depression years, in the depression years, we didn’t have credit cards, we didn't have unfunded liabilities from social security, from medicare, mediclaim, these are all debts that will come that have to be paid by the government and eventually this fiscal deficit will lead to a government debt that will then because of its increase in size lead to sharply rising interest burden. In 10 years time, I would estimate that between 30-50% of tax revenue will be spent on interest payments on government debt and that will then prove to be a huge problem and necessitate the monetisation of debt and that will lead to a weak dollar.”

Marc Faber on Goldman Sachs

Marc Faber : "In periods of money printing and debasing of currencies, wealth becomes concentrated in the Goldman Sachses of the world because they can move money quickly"

"I don't think you can accuse China of manipulating their currency," Marc Faber, editor & publisher of the 'Gloom, Boom & Doom Report,' said Thursday. He said that China has had huge productivity improvements, but that in the US productivity has reduced, not improved.

Marc Faber favorite stocks and when he is planning on buying them

Dr. Marc Faber wrote in his latest Gloom Boom & Doom Report : “I believe that,regardless of whether or not the S&P will exceed its Jan. 19, 2010, high at 1,150 within the next three months, a more meaningful correction will still occur in 2010 and provide a better buying opportunity. An exception to this may be Japanese banks such as Mitsubishi UFJ, Mizuho Financial Group, etc., which are, as I have pointed out before, extremely depressed.

“But if I were held at gunpoint and forced to buy equities (and many institutions need to do this), I would right now invest in energy and energy-related stocks such as Exxon Mobil, Chevron, Chesapeake Energy, Schlumberger and Halliburton. Should the global economy surprise temporarily on the upside, demand for energy would likely strengthen and lift oil prices.

“In addition, I maintain that for at least the next few months, the S&P 500 is likely to outperform emerging stock markets. U.S. large market capitalization stocks are not particularly expensive, and the U.S. dollar is likely to remain stable or even to appreciate further over the next [two] months.”

Mish Shedlock and Marc Faber The Full Interview

Marc Faber : It is beyond repair , too late , we are doomed

Mish Shedlock, of SitkaPacific Capital is one of the very few economists to have warned about deflation rather than inflation , Mish debates Marc Faber who have always warned about inflation / hyperinflation : Mish argument is that Credit is contracting, despite Ben Bernanke's trying to expand the money supply , but that money supply is just sitting there as excess reserve on the balance sheets of the banks , unless that money makes its way into the economy we are not going to see inflation I think there is another leg down in housing certainly another leg down in commercial real estate , we have not seen the write offs that are gonna happen with credit cards , lots of defaults coming , and more recently we are seeing something else too : where state budgets are coming out of control where states have to cut back we are seeing it in New Jersey we are seeing it in Kansas we are seeing mayors of various cities proposing to fire all the city workers and hire them back as non union workers , all of that stuff is a deflationary force , but the real point here is that Bernanke can print all that money but unless that money makes it to the real economy we are not going to see inflation " Mish explains
"The money supply is just sitting there as excess reserves on bank balance sheets," Mish says
Marc Faber on the other hand : says that Bernanke also known as 'Helicopter Ben' is good in dropping money on the US economy , he won't do it from a Helicopter but he will do it electronically , there is a biog misconception that when the economy is poor there deflation and when the economy is strong there is inflation it is the opposite says Marc Faber , because when the economy is bad the government pile up this fiscal deficits and they print money , there is a private credit contraction which is offset by a government credit expansion Marc Faber added and they gonna print and print and print and eventually another symptom of inflation besides soaring oil price since December 2008 , soaring equity prices since March 2009 will be rising consumer prices across the board and also all services will become more expensive

"Before we will have a final collapse that will be a deflationary collapse we will have more and more money printing , I am not saying that the FED policies are desirable , I am not saying that the fiscal policies are desirable , but you look at Mr Obama and you look at Mr Bernanke they will have large fiscal deficit and money printing for as far as the eye can see , it will not help the real economy that's the point ...money printing go to Zimbabwe and have a look at the real economy , the output cap is like 95 percent in other words the economy is operating 95 percent below its capacity ...but in an environment like this what you get is stocks moving up and the value of money going down " Marc Faber explains
