The US Dollar Will Become Worthless

The dollar will become worthless when people eventually realize the fiscal situation in the U.S. is a "disaster,"said Marc Faber, publisher of the Gloom, Boom & Doom report.

"It will go to a value of zero eventually, but not right now," Faber said today in an interview on Bloomberg Television. "Looking at Mr. Obama's administration, it should already be there. I think it will take about 10 years until people realize that the fiscal situation of the U.S. is a complete disaster."

"In my opinion, about 50 percent of tax revenues will be used just to cover the interest payments on the government debt. That is unsustainable. Then you'll really be forced to print money."


The best investments right now are foreign currencies, commodities and equities, Faber said. Stocks will continue to benefit from the actions of Federal Reserve Chairman, "As soon as the S&P drops to 900 or 800, he will print money again. He's a money printer. He's nothing else."

Marc Faber is an international investor known for his uncanny predictions of the stock market and futures markets around the world. Dr. Doom also trades currencies and commodity futures like Gold and Oil.
