Marc Faber delivered an OUTSTANDING libertarian friendly rant for Barron’s 2011 Roundtable. The moderator, and his fellow panelists, were utterly terrified to ask his opinion on, well, just about anything.

While sounding a bit dramatic, if you look through history, you’ll see incredibly consistent correlation between productivity breakthroughs (ie. the industrial revolution, the internet) and bursts of prosperity. Legendary hedge fund manager and technology guru Andy Kessler used this technique […]
Not bad – Rosenberg had the S&P fair value pegged much lower last time (in the range of 650 to be precise). From today’s Breakfast With Dave: S&P 500: No surprise here, the U.S. market continues to be overvalued. According to our proprietary models, the median fair-value for the S&P 500 is 1,120 (with a range […]
