Impact Of The Japanese Election On The Stock Market

Telephone interview from Thailand.

"In Japan we made a secular low last October, meaning that we will not make a new low for a long time"

"I think that at worst the (japanese stock) market isn`t going to do anything. But obviously the market can have quite a rally for the simple reason that we are still very low in terms of share prices in Japan"

"You Should Buy Bank Stocks In The World"

I don`t hold a very high opinion of bankers but you really have to be dumb, dumb, dumb not to make any money when the government gives you money free of charge. So the bankers get the money free of charge , so they can do things and they will make money. And the worst the economic conditions will become, the worst the commercial real estate market becomes the more money the government will throw to the system and more bailouts will follow. You should buy bank stocks around the world.

Video interview transcript
A correction is not nothing unusual at this phase of the cycle. I would also like to add that although the global economy has kind of stabilized we are not out of the woods and valuations have become somewhat stretched.

In other words, stocks didn`t go up necessarily because of improving fundamentals but they went up because of huge liquidity injections and large stimulus packages by all governments in the world.

And the problem with fiscal and monetary stimulus is that as you increase the fiscal deficits and money supply grows it has an immediate impact on asset markets. However, in order to continue to drive asset markets higher in a second period, the fiscal deficits should continue to increase and money supply should continue to increase at an accelerated rate. In the moment there is a slowdown in that growth rate, or even if the growth rate remains constant the stimulative impact diminishes and then liquidity tightens, relatively speaking.

Dollar, Asset Markets And Bubbles

When the S&P bottomed in March, the dollar was weak, notes Faber, who expects the next few months will be a period of dollar recovery and “a correction time in asset markets” as the dollar strengthens. “The strong dollar means global liquidity tightening,” Faber told CNBC.

“In a scenario where growth will be disappointing, I think emerging markets will be kind of vulnerable.” The worse the global economy, the more stocks could go up, Faber says, because the world’s central bankers have become nothing more than money printers. “They’re dangerous to the health of the global economy,” Faber says. “They created the Nasdaq bubble, the housing bubble, and now they want to create another bubble to bail them out.”

Financial crises, Faber points out, usually lead to some fundamental change that purges the excesses that went before. But, he says, the Obama administration chose instead to bail out financial firms at the taxpayers’ expense, leaving the country vulnerable to a bigger crisis in the next few years.

Business Standard Interview, August 20

Your call on China: what's your take on the weak economic and financial market news flow?
The Chinese have implemented the world’s largest stimulus package. These packages have not helped the economy much. It has created another kind of stock market bubble. This is being corrected now.

Do you expect more of a correction in China?
The markets are no longer free, there is continuous intervention. The Chinese markets came down 10-20 per cent on the hope that government would implement supporting measures. Predicting markets worldwide is extremely difficult. The S&P in the US reached 1,000 two days ago from 650 in March. If the S&P were to drop 10-20 per cent, then the Federal Reserve would monetise massively.

Do you think India is vulnerable to a correction if global markets continue to fall?
Yeah. In China, we saw a fall of about 17 per cent from the peak. The US markets are a little bit oversold and might rally again. I would not be surprised if the early August highs were actually the high for the year.

Is that a call just on China or on all markets, that the high in August will be the one for the entire year?
Correction has begun in most markets. Between March and August, there has been a rise in commodities and equities. Bonds did not perform well and the dollar was weak. I think, for the next one to three months, bonds could rally somewhat and the dollar could recover somewhat.

"Emerging Markets Are Kind Of Vulnerable"

"A stronger dollar means that global liquidity is tightning. The US is the least cyclical economy and as Professor Roubini has said, emerging economies are essentially more cyclical then the US Economy. They are like a warrant on the US economy. In a scenario where growth is going to be disappointing I think emerging markets are kind of vulnerable." Marc Faber, CNBC, August 12

"I Expect Now For The Next Couple Of Months A Period Of A Recovering Dollar"

"I expect now for the next couple of months a period of a recovering dollar and weak assets. A strong dollar means global liquidity tightening. The dollar will strengthen because the US economy is the least cyclical, but developing countries are more exposed. In a scenario where growth will be disappointing, I think emerging markets are vulnerable. I think we had huge increases in stock prices, a lot of markets have doubled in price." Marc Faber, CNBC
