I like his insights in all asset classes across the globe.Also like his sense of humour with which he plays with the media and that is necessary in a hectic business.Over all he is a dispassionate pundit and gives his unbiased views.

Yes it has all happened! But what about the future - easy to predict that overinflated markets will collapse - but perhaps not as easy to make predictions in the current mess! Look forward to your future comments.

Rich, I have not seen Dr Faber denigrate any one. Why do you when referring to his education? By the way he is Swiss, not Austian, nore should that have anything to do with his educated guesses.

What impresses me most about Marc Faber lately is his willingness to call a bull a bull when he is himself Doctor Doom!
As to his academese, you have to forgive that in a man who relies on his education (he's an Austrian economist) to see things soberly. At least he won't tell you paper is worth ten times what it would be worth if it (indeed) had a real value.

Marc, you are my hero. Why are there only 5 responses?

Your recent commentaries on Bloomberg on the differences between 2006 recoil and now make a lot of sense, but I believe your view on the liquidity crunch and the effect of subprime are a little early. Some signs are there, but I don't believe the market will respond just yet. Global expansion is still strong. The 10% decline in S&P and Dow may not come until we see another 10%+ leg down in China. Global markets are now much more sensitive to China growth than before. However, before Dec. 2007 I don't see a major retraction in the economic expansion in China. On top of that we have the consumer spending in China on the rise. We'll have to wait and see. Best wishes.
Good work on Bloomberg!

As he mentioned market will start to decline because it starts to rally in 2002 I think as market in japan increase for 30 years in row there must be some predictor like him who saw market declined But market dont hear you even if you are Investment GURU

Broad asset inflation across the globe implies a global downturn not seen since the 1930's. Watch the American consumer, housing bubble will no longer finance his 'trade imbalance'
