Faber : Stocks & Bonds will go down at the same time

Inflation is an increase in the quantity of money and credit. The symptoms occur in a variety of forms. You can print money in the US, but it could happen that it does not boost economic activity in the US but only in China or in Vietnam or Indian and so forth. It can boost wages in India, it can boost real estate prices in London, and so forth, because we have a global economy. Stating there is no inflation is an error.

In case things turn out bad again, the central bankers have one thing left: money. When they start throwing out money, it will lead to price increases. Nobody can deny that anywhere in the world energy prices are substantially higher than they were ten years ago. Nobody can deny that food prices are up. Nobody in the US can deny that insurance premiums are up. So, to throw money at the system, at some point will lead to some more visible (!) pressure on consumer prices. Stocks has basically done nothing since the beginning of the year. But long term bonds are up 12% this year. Now, during the next downturn, I believe stocks and bonds will go down at the same time. -  in a recent CNBC interview

Marc Faber : stocks may adjust in real terms but not necessarily in nominal terms to the extent that the super bears are predicting

Marc Faber : not convinced of austerity measures as the way to go , Expect fiscal deficit to remain high

Marc Faber : Well Basically we got very over sold at the beginning of July and since then we rallied quite strongly , I think that we can rally some what more but if we look at the S&P the low was 1010 and the previous support was 1040 and the top at the end of April was 1219 so around 1170 there is a lot of resistance and it will be very difficult for the market to get through that resistance ....
we have to distinguish between what central Banks and the governments in the western world say and what they will do , I am not a great believer in this austerity that they are proclaiming , I think the fiscal deficit will actually stay very high or even increase and I think that if they decrease the fiscal deficit then it will be offset by very expansionary monetary policy in other words monetisation , so the whole burden to support the economy will fall on the monetary policies then they'll print money like crazy and so I would not pay too much attention to what they say but to what the markets do and it seems to me that the people that predicted the DOW JONES 1000 or S&P 500 or S&P 200 I think they're misreading the facts that under fiat monetary system you can print endless quantity of money and so stocks may adjust in real terms but not necessarily in nominal terms to the extent that the super bears are predicting ...

Marc Faber : Cash and bonds will be very dangerous

SEOUL: Investor Marc Faber said cash and bonds will be “very dangerous” in the next 10 years as governments increase money supply to cover fiscal deficits.

“There’s no other way out but to print money,” Faber, the publisher of the Gloom, Boom & Doom report, said at a forum in Seoul on Wednesday. “In the long run, all paper money will go exactly to its intrinsic value, which is zero.” Faber advised investors to protect themselves with assets such as gold and silver. source Bloomberg.com

Bonds are bad, says Marc Faber FT Alphaville

Marc Faber Dr Doom :"Since we had in 2008 the third best annual return (41%) in the last 35 years and since each time high returns were followed by negative returns I would be — regardless of the economic outlook — very reluctant to invest in long term government and also in corporate bonds. In fact, on a further deterioration in economic activity and amidst severe deflationary pressures (as postulated by the deflationists) I would be even more negative about US government bonds than under an economic recovery scenario. Why? Because further economic weakness (inevitable in my opinion) will lead to further fiscal stimulus packages and necessitate further money printing."

"I should also mention some concerns (for now of short-term nature) I have about commodity prices including gold. A large number of commodities including oil, the CRB Index, and gold broke out on the upside in early October. I would regard a failure to hold above the “upside breakout points” in the period directly ahead with great caution. In the case of gold a decline below $1000 would likely lead to further more meaningful weakness (possibly down to between $800 and $900)."

the government debt has is growing at very rapid pace during the last 12 months , it increased by 1.9 trillion dollar next 12 months I expect it to increase by about 2 trillion dollars or so , and then it will be very difficult to bring down the deficit in my opinion " said Marc Faber on June 6 2009 during an interview with radio host King World News ..." Economy is unlikely to recover much from the present level we have fallen off the cliff between September of last year and march of this year and we reached in March kind of low point in economic activity and what can happen from this low point is some kind of recovery for a couple of months or even a couple of years but I think the peak prosperity and the peak growth rate we had in 2006 early 2007 will not come back any time soon , The FED will be in a position in which they will be very reluctant to increase interest rates " Faber added "we have since march weakness in dollar and in bond but strength in stocks and in commodities and now I think for the next ten days the bonds can rebound in other words yields will come down somewhat and the dollar can rebound somewhat , but long term I am extremely negative about US treasury Bonds and the US dollar
