Marc Faber believes that the FED will keep the interest rates close to zero for a long time to come , "If you keep interest rates at zero, you eliminate the primary function of your money. It loses its value. The Fed keeping interest rates at zero, just makes the cash repulsive" Marc Faber said
"The U.S. debt has now reached 373% of its GDP, and this does not yet include Medicare and Medicaid plans, or maturities as the retirement of baby boomers. Overall, if you add up everything, we reach 800% of GDP. By keeping interest rates low, the government makes interest payments on its debt less difficult to bear. But when the Fed will raise its interest rates, it will inflate its debt. And at this pace, in ten years, 35% of tax revenue will be used to repay that debt, " He added
The S & P 500 is unlikely to go below 666 points Marc Faber explained , Marc Faber as usual recommended physical gold kept outside of the United States borders ...
