Last week, Barron’s published their annual roundtable for 2012 – again featuring two of our very favorites in Marc Faber and Felix Zulauf. Faber stole the show when he predicted that World War III would begin within five years: “On another optimistic note, World War III will occur in the next five years. That means […]
Analysts agree – they’re wildly bullish on gold! From Hard Assets Investor: The analyst community remains overwhelmingly bullish when it comes to gold in 2012. Respected precious metals consultant GFMS came out Tuesday with its call for $2000/oz gold within the next year. “Concern over nearly all currencies’ long-term value remains acute, and this includes […]
The reported end, or at least pause, of QE, is exactly what the deflation camp has been waiting for. (Well…sort of. Since some liquidity is going to be hanging around in the form of “QE2.5”. Remember when Bernanke claimed that after QE1, the Fed would remove the excess liquidity from the system?)Regardless, after June, the […]
Dallas Fed CEO Richard W. Fisher had some strong words against further monetary easing as a means of putting people back to work: But it is worrisomely clear that the task of putting millions of unemployed and underemployed Americans back to work will take an anguishing amount of time. I do not, however, feel that […]
Marc Faber gave a stellar 30+ minute interview for The McAlvany Weekly Commentary. You can read the transcript here, and listen to it here.

This is why when […]
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. Until Faber weighed in with his usual excellent insights, I found the rest of the panel to be nauseatingly boring and far too friendly to […]
Marc Faber was a guest on Bloomberg last week – October 26 to be precise. He gave his outlook for stocks, QE2, and how the upcoming elections will weigh on the markets: Some quick takeaways: The market has gone from a pessimistic low of almost 1000 to nearly 1200 – and he believes a lot […]
Because Mr. Bernanke and Mr. Obama are money printers! Faber also likes Asia in the medium to long term for his stock holdings. And he hates cash. He believes longer term, Americans should have at least 50% of their cash in emerging economies, because their higher growth rates offer greater opportunities for returns. I like […]
