Marc Faber : Corporates Bonds better than Government Bonds

Marc Faber : ...You can have a recession that has some inflationary symptoms in the system and so in a global recession what will also happen is that tax revenues will collapse and the fiscal deficit will go ballistic , so the quality of government paper will deteriorate , I think may be if you believe in bonds you might be better off in corporates bonds of high quality companies " says Marc Faber in 07 June 2012 on Bloomberg TV

Marc Faber : we are surely approaching a major low in interest rates

Marc Faber, editor of the Gloom, Boom and Doom report, says this in an e-mail: "The Nasdaq was in a bubble at the end of 1999. It still managed to rise 30% to the March 2000 peak. Thereafter, it was all the way down. Possibly Treasuries rally more, but after a bull market, which began in September 1981, we are surely approaching a major low in interest rates. I am sure that over the next 10 years investors buying today U.S. 10-year T-notes and 30-year bonds will lose a ton of money." - via USA Tooday

Marc Faber: Europe is in recession today

Marc Faber: "I'm convinced that Europe is actually in recession today ... There is a meaningful and more substantial slowdown in China than the official statistics would suggest. At the present time there probably is hardly any growth at all, so that slows down the demand for industrial commodities. That then slows down the production in countries that produce industrial commodities. So you have essentially a chain, a vicious spiral going through the global economy, which means that corporate profits in the U.S. ... will disappoint" - in Fox Business News

Marc Faber : US Government Bonds is the Biggest Bubble ever

Marc Faber : ...If you had asked me about the NASDAQ in December 1999 I would have said it is the biggest bubble ever and yet the NASDAQ continued to go up 30 percent until March 21st 2000 , and then what happened to the NASDAQ ...it's been a disaster and I think the government bonds bubble will also burst but I do not know tomorrow or in three months I suspect it actually may be sooner than later because the consensus is now buy US Government Bonds , I can see why people buy US Government bonds .....

Marc Faber : U.S. Bond Bubble to Burst

Marc Faber :  " ....so in Europe what you have are many shares of good quality companies that are yielding 5 to 7 percent , so I am saying they are relatively attractive compared to cash and to bonds , I am not saying that they will go up and in fact I think the global bear market has begun and we are gonna go lower , but if you look ten years out , I think if you buy a ten years US treasury at a yield of 1.6 percent that is the maximum you will earn whereas companies who have dividend yields of 4 to 7 percent I think they will provide you with higher returns ..." says Marc Faber on this 07 June 2012 on Bloomberg TV

MARC FABER: The Best Outcome For Greece Would Still Be Absolutely Horrible For The Greeks

Marc Faber : The best outcome for Greece probably would be to exit the euro zone. But the new Greek drachma would depreciate by 50% to 70% against the euro. The Greeks don't want their pensions paid in a depreciating currency. Nor do they want austerity, as their pensions and government salaries would be cut by 50%.

Marc Faber : Warming to Gold Shares

Marc Faber : "I am also warming to Gold shares. Gold corrected to $1,522 last December from $1,921 in September. It rebounded to $1,795 in February and is back down around $1,600. The correction could last longer, but given that governments will print more money, gold is relatively effective as a currency. My preference is physical gold, but I would also own some gold shares, which have been decimated. " - In the new issue of Barron's

Marc Faber : Europe Should Accept Austerity

Marc Faber : The Gold Price have Bottomed

Marc Faber : "I'm not sure that Gold will not make a new high this year, but I think we've bottomed out and some gold mining shares have become very very inexpensive compared to the reserves they have. And i think that in the current environment where it is clear that the worse the economy becomes the more the money printers will be at work, that to own a currency whose supply can not be increased at the will of some clowns that occupy the central banks is a desirable investment." - in Bloomberg TV

Marc Faber : The Chinese Economy is hardly growing

Marc Faber :   .......Well I think that if you look at electricity production, cement production , steel production, it's essentially flat to down vis a vis a year ago  and these are very important indicators the housing market and construction has slowed down,  so i think these are very meaningful signs indicators that the economy is hardly growing at the present time. and then you look at the demand for iron and for copper coming from china, it essentially all flat to down, otherwise prices wouldn't be so weak. so i think that i would rather rely on those statistics. but I'd just like to mention one point and i think you should ask Jeremy Siegel about this, you know, everything looks bad at the present time and people are relatively bearish. at the same time you have the ten years note at less than 1.5% and you have say a stock like Johnson & Johnson yielding almost 4%. I'm not saying that Johnson & Johnson won't go down along with the rest of the market, I'm just saying if you have a time horizon of ten years, i believe you're going to make more money in Johnson & Johnson than in u.s. government bonds - in Squawk Box CNBC

Marc Faber : I am convinced that Europe is in a recession today, if you add every country. and I think there is a very meaningful and more substantial slowdown in china than the official statistics would suggest, probably there is at the present time hardly any growth at all. and so that slows down the demand for industrial commodities and that then slows down the production in countries that produce industrial commodities and their demand. so you have essentially a chain, a vicious spiral going through the global economy, which means that corporate profits in the and don't forget about 40% of corporate profits are outside and of that I would imagine about 50% is in europe, that corporate profits will disappoint.” - in Squawk Box CNBC

Marc Faber : The FED to announce QE3 only if The S&P drops to 1200

Marc Faber : I find it quite funny this talk about an exit strategy or an exit point because that they don’t have. And I think there will be no exit, but continuation of money printing. But I have to give credit to Mr. Bernanke. If I were in his shoes in the current situation, with the S&P having risen to 1422 the other day, I wouldn’t have embarked on QE3. I would rather wait and announce there won’t be any QE3 for the time being or depending on market conditions or on economic conditions and wait what happens, and if the market sells off 100 points on the S&P or 200 points, say it dips down to 1200 on the S&P, then come up again as the big savior of the whole financial system by implementing QE3 - in financialsense

Marc Faber : in Asia we have more inflation than what the governments publish

Marc Faber : Well, basically in Asia we have a lot of inflation and much more than what the government published. I mean prices are going up substantially and the economies are still doing reasonably well because we have a competitive advantage and we have to make the consumption growth. But, basically there’s a difference, I mean everywhere I go in the world there’s one thing that strikes me. You go to a luxury hotel, there’s Maserati’s, Ferraris, Bentleys, Jaguars, and so forth in front of the hotel and the ordinary people are struggling. I see that everywhere. And, so I think that in Asia we have also imbalanced growth and we have widening social divisions and rising social tensions and I also think that the Chinese economy, which grew a trend line between 2000 and 2007, and they printed money, had huge fiscal debt, and so forth and they are now in a significant slowdown period. I’m not talking about the stock market. Maybe the stock market goes up because of money printing. All I’m saying is the economy is slowing down very significantly which will have implications on the global economy. - in chrismartenson interview

Marc Faber : The Greek issue has been completely overplayed and misinterpreted

Marc Faber : Personally, I think that the Greek issue has been completely overplayed and misinterpreted. The climax of the Greek issue was in, say, October/November of last year and everybody was very bearish on what happened because of the bailout of Greece. And the market’s rising very strongly: we have more than 25% from the October 4th low when the S&P was at that one thousand and seventy-four. So I think that the Greek issue is not market determining. In other words, the market focuses on other issues that are more important. - in chrismartenson interview

Marc Faber : The Chinese Economy is much weaker than what analysts suggest

Marc Faber : ...But how the Chinese economy is doing, you only need to watch at the industrial commodity prices and how weak they have been , because if you look at the year's 2000 to today, industrial commodity prices and the chinese stock market correlated very closely. Ande so when industrial commodity prices are weak, it tells you something about the health of the Chinese economy and I think the Chinese economy is much weaker than what analysts suggest - in CNBC

Marc Faber : Europe Risks a Gigantic Systemic Failure

Marc Faber : well, I think the next danger level would be an outright default by Greece and may be by some other countries that would be a danger level . But as I said, it may be be better to take the loss now , it would have been better to take the losses three years ago and the longer you postpone it, the more likely you will eventually have a gigantic systemic failure.
I think the market will be relieved if finally Greece exited the euro and there would be some clarity. it wouldn't be good for bank shares and insurance company shares but in general I think the markets in Europe are now very oversold and on an exit of Greece, I think the markets would rally because that would be some solution, maybe not the best solution, the best solution would have been never to accept Greece into the eurozone to start with , but it would be some solution and I think the markets would actually rally - in CNBC 25 May 2012

Marc Faber : The difficulty for the investor is to navigate between today and the time of collapse that I think is inevitable

Marc Faber : I’ve learned that what I know I obviously learned from someone. I didn’t invent it. So I worked at White Weld with Gary Schilling and he’s a friend of mine; I see him occasionally at the conferences and so forth. And I disagree with him about that we have deflation. He lives in New Jersey. I went to New York airport the other and day and then I drove to New York City and the Lincoln Tunnel fee has just increased from $8 to $14. Well, I’m sorry, that is a 50 percent increase. And so there is no deflation in the system today. But if you say there is deflation in the housing market, yeah, there has been deflation in the housing market and if you ask me will there be one day a deflationary collapse, yes, one day there will be a deflationary collapse, but you understand, as an investor it’s nice to say there will be a deflationary collapse, but it could happen from Dow Jones 100,000 or gold price 20,000 or from home prices that are much higher than today and from a dollar that has depreciated much more than is the case today. So the difficulty for the investor is actually to navigate between today and the time of collapse that I think is inevitable. But how do you protect your wealth in the meantime and in the time of collapse? Investors, and I think they have to begin to think about this already today and say, okay, what does it mean if there is a global kind of deflationary collapse. In a deflationary collapse, everything essentially goes down in value, but obviously, like in an inflationary boom, in an inflationary boom you have different assets that go up at different times with different intensity. So let’s say if you look at 2000 to today, you were better off in gold and commodities than in equities. Now, in a deflationary collapse, the key is to say, okay, I’m only going to lose 50 percent when everybody else will lose 90 percent. So relatively speaking, I will be much better off. And that is the strategy that investors should consider: How to position themselves to lose less in the deflationary collapse in the final crisis than the majority of people. Then relatively to other people, their position will improve. - in the Financial Sense Newshour

Marc Faber : Guaranteed Global Recession by 2013

Marc Faber : I think what should happen I just mentioned a week ago namely that Greece and some other countries should exit the eurozone but what will happen is probably that Germany will show more flexibility and that eventually they will issue eurobonds and so the whole quality of the euro will diminish and that have already been reflected in the market place in the sense that the euro has been very weak and I happen to think that now the euro is on the oversold side and that it has the potential to rebound somewhat along with the stock markets in the world " says Marc Faber “I think we could have a global recession either in Q4 or early 2013. That’s a distinct possibility.”

Marc Faber : The Austerity in the Eurozone is a Hoax

Marc Faber : look, I have to laugh each time people talk about austerity. the fact is in 2000, up to 2011, government spending in the euro zone has risen by 76%. where is the austerity? government spending as a percent of the economy has grown from 44% to 49 there has been no austerity. government spending continues to increase and it is suggested to be financed by higher taxes. higher taxes gives more money to the bureaucrats so they can install more regulatory bodies to hamper businesses and harm business developments.

John Williams of ShadowStats Warns of US Hyperinflation By 2014

John Williams & Chris Waltzek - Goldseek Radio - May 22, 2012 JOHN WILLIAMS IS CORRECT HE WARNS OF A HYPERINFLATIONARY GREAT DEPRESSION LOOMING IN THE UNITED STATES .

John Williams : I’ve been a consulting economist for 30 years. What I’ve found over the decades is that the government’s reporting has moved further and further away from common experience, and really, the average guy has got a pretty good sense of what’s going on. If you feel the economy is not as strong as the government is saying or that inflation might be higher than what they’re reporting, you’re most likely right because you’re dealing with the real world. The numbers use to deal much closer to real world experience. And with the unemployment number, if you, let’s say, went around the entire country and asked everyone whether he or she was unemployed, you’d get an immediate answer. Most people have a pretty strong opinion as to what’s up, they have a job; they know what’s going on. But if you put all those numbers together, you’d come up with a much higher unemployment rate than the government reports, or at least the headline government number to date. So that’s all due to definition. In order to be counted in the headline unemployment rate — and keep in mind, the government actually publishes six levels of unemployment. The third level they call U3 is the headline number — you have to obviously be out of work and willing and able to take a job, but you have to have actively looked for work in the last four weeks. There are people who’ve stopped looking for work after a period of time when there are just no jobs to be had, yet they’d take a job if it were available, and they otherwise consider themselves unemployed. They want a job; they are willing and able to work. And again, they’d take it as soon as it was offered. If you haven't been looking in the last four weeks, the government will count you as a discouraged worker so long as you've looked for work in the last year. If you haven't actively looked for work in the last year, they don’t count you at all. Before 1994, anybody who was a discouraged worker, irrespective of the period of time, was counted as a discouraged worker. So that where you have the U3 unemployment rate at, I believe it’s 8.2% in March, the government’s broadest number U6 (which includes what I call the short term discouraged workers, those who have given up looking for work, but not for more than a year) and also includes people who work part-time for economic reasons (they can’t get a full-time job, they want a full-time job but you know, no full-time job is available) that’s running up somewhat over 14%. And what I do is I add to that my estimate of the longer term discouraged workers — those who have been discouraged more than a year. That puts you up over 22%. What happens here is the people who are unemployed roll out of the U3 level; they become discouraged because there are no jobs to be had, and so they go into the U6 level. And after a year, they roll out of the U6 level in terms of going into another world that the government does not count. I still estimate them, so my number is broader than the government’s number. So when you see the unemployment rate dropping, yet the broader measures are rising or staying at near historic levels, you do not have an economic recovery and that’s what we’re showing. - in a recent interview with the Financial NewsHour

Marc Faber : The Technical picture of the Market is actually quite bad
