Dr. Doom: Tech stocks even more overvalued now than in 2000



"It's easy to blame someone else for ones problems," says Faber. "Emerging markets central bankers are blaming now the Fed for the tapering… The Fed has brought about problem in emerging economies. But, it's not the tapering. It's the previous bubble they created because investors were chasing yield. They bought emerging market stocks, emerging market currencies, and bonds. They pushed up these asset prices to relatively high levels." "The market in the US, the S&P went from 666 in March 2009 – almost five years ago – to 1,850," says Faber. "Now the market dropped 7% and it seems that it's the end of the world. This is ridiculous." "Compared to the previous increase in prices," says Faber, "the market retreat of 7% is nothing, nothing at all! "Social media stocks are more overpriced than the internet shares were in year 2000," says Faber.
