Marc Faber is back in the news. Who is Marc Faber? He's the author of the 'Gloom, Boom, Doom Report.' On March 9th, 2009, the S&P 500 hit a 12-year low. On that day, Faber predicted stocks would rally thanks to government stimulus money being pumped into the economy. Since then, the S&P 500 has rallied 55%.
Faber is back in the news today, making the following assertions:
*Stocks have likely peaked for the year and will probably face a 20% correction.
*Faber prefers emerging markets. The Asian economies will continue to grow despite the financial mess in the West.
*Fiscal and monetary stimulus measures have only delayed an inevitable crisis instead of preventing it.
*“The next stage is for total breakdown of the financial system and for an economic and financial crisis that will bankrupt governments.” -Faber
*Gold will face a correction along with equities. Faber "wouldn't be surprised" to see gold settle at $920 an ounce. However, Faber does not plan on selling his holdings in gold.
*Despite being an ultimately doomed currency, the U.S. Dollar is likely to rally amid deflation concerns.
