Marc Faber : First of all, whenever the market is obsessed with one indicator, whether in the 1970s when it was the money supply, or in the 1980s, when it was the deficit, employment, it usually loses its relevance. But, I believe that the Fed will continue to monetize. We had quantitative easing (QE)1, QE2 and now we are in QE3.
In 2009 they started with QE1, (I believe) we would go up to QE99 or there will be an unlimited QE over time, I still believe that. The only thing is that over time the impact of QE or money printing loses its traction. This QE has not boosted employment for the ordinary people but has boosted the asset prices that are owned by very small portion of the population, the 1 percent, it is not even 1 percent, it may be 0.5 percent that benefits from rising stock prices, rising high end property prices in the Hamptons, in the US. Property prices over the last 12 months are up 35 percent, but it does not benefit the man on the street, but they will continue to do it. - in moneycontrol
