The longtime Swiss fund manager
Marc Faber has made a killing for years,
making very pessimistic—but very correct—calls about the market, to the
benefit of his $300 million fund. But by his own admission, "Dr. Doom"
hasn't done so well in the friends department. The 67-year-old,
ponytailed investor recalled the time he invested $100,000 in a pal's
publishing firm, only to discover that his friend had held the
copyrights under his name, and not the company. The result: His (now
former) friend more than doubled his money when he sold the rights five
years later, while Faber only got his money back. -
