MARC FABER : "Well, I think investors have a misconception about what inflation is
because it is essentially an increase in the quantity of money and
credit. We have wage deflation in the world in real terms, for sure. In
other words, real wages are going down and the cost of living everywhere
are going up. That is why you have social unrest in North Africa, in
the Middle East, in Turkey, in Brazil, and it will spread because the
average person on the street hasn't participated in the huge asset
inflation that has been going on in high-end properties, Mayfair
properties, Fifth Avenue, Madison Avenue, the Hamptons and in equities
and until recently in bonds and commodities."
