US Debt Could Be Downgraded to Junk Status?

MARC FABER on The Rotten Apples of Europe
Marc Faber :...I think what you need to avoid are government bonds , now can they rally for ten days , could be the case but in general you do not want to be in sovereign bonds certainly not of countries like Spain Portugal Greece Ireland Iceland and so forth because they would have to be restructured . but the problem is usually when you have bad apples in your family the whole family becomes rotten so all the European governments in my opinion will have government debt that probably will become difficult to pay off or even meet the interest payment on the government debt ......The world has over six billion people we have 1.3 billion in China one billion in India and I live in Asia , Asia has 3.6 billion people it's a growing region it's demographically young with the exception of Japan and so I have a special knowledge about Asia and therefore I also invest in Asia and I have two or three investments in Switzerland but hardly any.....
On a global scale whether Ireland exists or doesn't exist even if Spain exists or doesn't exist , or Belgium exists or doesn't exist it's completely irrelevant , it's sad to think of one's self that I am completely irrelevant but that's a fact of economic life today .......

Economist John Williams on the Financial Sense NewsHour 14 Dec 2010
The Bigger Picture with John Williams
Respected Walter J. "John" Williams says govt may start giving out free toilet paper...er...money! economist John Williams, editor of ShadowStats.com, a popular website that tracks real inflation figures, is advising that people hoard physical gold as well as food items in bulk so that they have some means with which to barter as the economic crisis turns ugly.How far down the rabbit hole do you want to go?
well it isn't getting better... what is it going to be like end of the year? or end of 2011?
I hope people are trying to protect them selves..
John Williams from shadowstats.com about the U3 cooked numbers from the government
still reading about bank closures coming.John Williams from ShadowStats.com says buy and store scotch! Put everything you got into canned food and shotguns! And horde scotch and gold oh and buy ammo i think ammo would be a great currency in the future especially if the dollar collapses. 7.62x39 mm and 223
also get handgun ammo, and mres, lambs, pigs, goats, all can be used for barter. hell even rabbits cheap to raise and fur is worth good money.
Three or four years into the future I think we could be in a hyperinflation, within the current year youre going to see much higher inflation than most people are looking at, John Williams told MarketWatch.
Williams said that his definition of hyperinflation would be a situation in which a $100 dollar bill would become more functional as a piece of toilet paper than a store of value.
This is a time when you want to preserve your wealth and assets because inflation will knock the value out of it, he added, advising that people buy physical gold and assets other than the U.S. dollar.
Then when the hyperinflation hits youll see disruption of normal commerce, you wont have enough $100 dollar bills to buy what you want, said Williams, adding that items to barter with, such as a bottle of scotch, would be more valuable than actual cash, even in large quantities.
Williams said that such items should be procured now in bulk so people had some means with which to barter and get them through rough times.
At least as far back as April 2008, six months before the collapse of Lehman Brothers and Bear Stearns, Williams predicted that the world economy was entering a phase of hyperinflationary depression that would peak in 2010.
In a hyperinflation special report, Williams said that the U.S. was on an irreversible course of financial armageddon that would likely lead to extreme political change and/or civil unrest.
Top trends forecaster Gerald Celente has echoed Williams advice, remarking recently that putting food on the table will become a primary concern over buying gifts at Christmas.The J.P. Morgan [banking] interests and Global Bankers found it was only necessary to purchase the control of 25 of the greatest papers. ...an editor was furnished for each paper to properly supervise and EDIT information etc etc
Define HIGH TREASON America, do Police Protect Criminals Now?? G20?
this is what happens when you do not include home prices in the inflation index, when you let home prices increase to high that means personal debt is really huge ie mortgages in order for people to pay off all these mortgages you have to keep increasing the money supply or face a shortage of cash to pay off these huge debts

Marc Faber : See 20-30% correction in emerging economies
"In India we had a market that performed superbly between March 2009 and just about three weeks ago. It was ready to come on the profit taking anyway. Now we have this profit taking phase and it will last for a while"
"We could easily in emerging economies have a correction of 20-30%." Marc Faber added

Deficit to Remain High As Far As the Eye Can See!
an excerpt from the dialogue between Bloomberg's LIU and Doctor Marc Faber editor and publisher of the GLOOM, BOOM, AND DOOM REPORT
LIU: ...So then, Marc, if you would buy into treasuries on a rebound, would you also buy into equities at all then, U.S. equities?...
MARC FABER: ...Well, I mean, U.S. equities come up reasonably well compared to emerging market equities at the present time. This is not a long-term call. But tactically, right now, I think the US market may actually outperform emerging markets. The market I like actually best is the Japanese stock market....
LIU: ...The Japanese market? Well, that's an idea. Marc, we'll have to leave it there. Good to talk with you. Marc Faber there from Thailand. ...

Marc Faber : Asian Currencies better than the Australian and The Canadian Dollars
Marc Faber :"...I do not think the Euro will go to parity , but can it go down another ten , fifteen percent ? ...easily I think the Eurozone will bailout Greece it will also bailout other countries like probably Spain at some stage , Portugal ...and that is obviously not favorable for the currency but this is the patern we have today we had excesses and we had misallocations of capital between 2002 and 2007 , then in 2008 we had the financial crisis a period of deliveraging sets in and then the government come in and bailed out essentially companies that failed notably in the financial sector , and of course in the US the two biggest bailouts Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac which were government sponsored enterprises and in Europe they will have to bailout countries like Greece and this is basically a monetization and it leads to a loss of purchasing power of the paper money both for the U.S. Dollar and the Euro , now I believe that all paper currencies are not desirable t they will lose value , will the Euro lose more value than the dollar ? could be for sis month and then may be the US Dollar loses more value than the Euro we'll have a kind of a shift ...In General I think that the Asian currencies are in a reasonably good position to appreciate further as the Singapore dollar has recently done , i am less optimistic about the Australian Dollar and the Canadian Dollar because they are very tight into the commodities cycle ...you know if I expect the Chinese economy to slow down or even to have some kind of bursting of the property bubble then it will affect the demand of China for industrial commodities and that will be negative for Australia and Canada .....

The race for Lithium Coltan and Rare Earth Metals is on
The race to control rare resources
The financial crisis has shown that speculation, funds, and credit default swaps create a huge amount of virtual wealth, but the real economic motor is driven by the manufacture of products using the earth's natural resources. The race is already on to control rare resources like lanthanum, scandium and thulium; essential for hi-tec but everyday products such as computers and mobile phones.Even without environmental regulations, China has more deposits. We simply don't know where the rare earth minerals are.What a coincidence how the U.S just happened to find those resources in Afghanistan! the regulations that restrict mining and exploration in the western/developed world, do not apply to the likes of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) South America and China.
BEN BERNANKE 60 MINUTES DEC 5 2010
Fed Chairman Bernanke On The Economy
Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke gives a rare interview to Scott Pelley in which he discusses pressing economic issues, including unemployment, the deficit and the Fed's controversial $600 billion U.S. Treasury Bill purchase.He knows what is coming down the line: civil unrest. Pelley failed to ask some hard follow-up questions like, "So do you think Congress will extend unemployment benefits for 'a protracted period of time'?" Not one word about why they exclude food and energy prices from inflation calculations. "Some people think the $600 billion is a dangerous thing to try." That would include members of the Federal Reserve. "Panic of 2008"? Only panic was at Goldman Sachs - will I get my bonus? Sure!At this point there's nothing to save this house on cards economy. This system encourages people to act irresponsible, taking on huge risks to overconsume. When you over-consume you take your future consumption away, and here we are out of money buried in debt. It needs a national chapter 11 to liquidate the debt in the system before it can truly recover. A few QE tweaks here and there ain't gonna cut it.

Marc Faber positive about economic growth in the emerging world
We already have big moves and I see all the brokers upgrading the earnings estimates and so forth. So I become a little bit apprehensive about this universal bullishness. I would rather think that after a strong month of September - when everybody was expecting September to be a horrible month - October and November may be bad months. In the past, October has frequently been a disastrous month like we had the October 1987 crash, we had the late September-early October 1929 crisis. In 1976 and 1978, we had very bad months in October and November. So who knows, out of this present bullishness, we could have some kind of a sharp correction developing. ..."

Marc Faber : the Fed is endangering emerging economies
Now what happens if so much money flows to emerging economies is that you get bubbles over time - currency bubbles, stock market bubbles, real estate bubbles. The question is then how do these emerging economies’ central banks react to that. The Brazilian Finance Minister has just said we are in the midst of a currency war, a foreign exchange war and the central banks of emerging economies have a choice to do nothing - then they have high domestic inflationary pressures with accompanying bubbles - or they tighten monetary policies and their currency becomes even stronger and you have a speculative bubble in the currency. So the Fed has put them actually in a very difficult position and I believe we are going to end up with bubbles in precious metals and to some extent in emerging economies’ real estate and equity markets and every bubble eventually bursts. It does not have to happen tomorrow. It could last another year, but the Fed is actually endangering emerging economies at the present time. ..."

Marc Faber : Excessive monetary growth leading to excessive debt growth
So actually, the US monetary policies have been very good for Asia, specifically for China because it fostered industrial production growth in China, employment growth, wage increases, domestic consumption, increased demand for raw materials, that then lifted commodity prices. For that actually the developing world, the emerging economies including China, India , Vietnam, Brazil and so forth should all send a thank you note to Bernanke...." Marc Faber said in a recent interview with www.moneycontrol.com

Marc Faber : FEDs dollars create bubbles and overconsumption
In other words, Bernanke as he said and wrote the US can drop dollar bills from helicopters onto the US, but what they don’t control is where these dollar bills will flow to, and as it happens it went into bubbles in US creating over consumption, and symptom of overconsumption was then the trade and current account deficit that shifted production and capital spending overseas and shifted economic growth to emerging economies and now QE2 what it will do is essentially it will foster bubbles, in commodities, in precious metals and in the capital markets of emerging economies where the capital will flow to."
