Marc Faber: You Don’t Want to be in Cash

Just caught the latest Marc Faber TV interview on Bloomberg. Some quick notes on his thoughts:

• Believes the March 6 stock market lows were major lows for awhile

• If the S&P drops towards 800, we’ll see new stimulus plans and loose money…and if it drops towards 700, we’ll see even more…thus the lows are likely to hold

• The economic recovery will be very disappointing

• You don’t want to be in cash or bonds, due to inflationary concerns

• Gold is attractive as a hedge against inflation

• Thinks the dollar and bonds could rally in the near term, but longer term, he’s looking for a weak US dollar and strength in commodity prices

Marc Faber is one of the sharpest investors in the world, and is author of the excellent book Tomorrow’s Gold: Asia’s age of discovery.
