Praise For Bernanke And Greenspan

“You have to give credit to [Ben] Bernanke and [Alan] Greenspan. They have achieved something no central bankers have achieved in history. They created a bubble in everything…The only asset that went down from 2002 to 2007 was the U.S. dollar.”

Stocks Could Be Under Pressure For The Rest Of The Year

"Stocks including those in Asia could be under pressure for the rest of this year, falling perhaps as much as 20% as the U.S. dollar rallies amid resurgent fears of deflation fears, Faber was cited as saying by Bloomberg News in an interview Friday.

Longer term, though, he thinks high-quality stocks are one of the places for investors to take refuge from the affects of currency debasement and what he says is the inevitable inflation that will result from central bank's money printing."

Stocks May Have Peaked

Stocks may have already peaked for this year and might drop 20 percent amid renewed deflation fears, said Marc Faber, the publisher of the Gloom, Boom & Doom report.

The dollar is likely to rebound from an “oversold” position, which will be negative for equities, Faber said in an interview with Bloomberg Television on the sidelines of CLSA’s annual investor conference in Hong Kong.

“I wouldn’t be surprised if we had seen the peak of the market for this year because the economic news isn’t going to improve very much,” Faber, 63, said. “The correction in the market has been overdue for quite some time.

One Year From Now Where Will The S&P 500 Be?

"We have to ask Mr. Bernanke. But I think one year from now the S&P will have travelled through a lot of volatility. Maybe we will go up first to 1,250 and then down again to 800. Maybe we will go down to 800 and then to 1,250 or whatever it is. There are two schools, some economists say that the economic recovery will be very strong. I think that will be negative for stocks. I think that the best for stocks is a very weak economy because there will be more money printing."

Stock Picks In The US Stock Market

In the near term, Marc Faber sees plenty of money-making opportunities in stocks. Sure, prices aren't as cheap as they were in March, yet he's confident, "in this envionrment cash will become worthless." As a result, he says investors are, "better off being in equities," for the next two to three years.

Faber is most bullish on mining and energy companies. He recommends:

Newmont Mining and FreeportMcMoran as relative inexpensive. He also mentions Nova Gold, as another, more speculative buy.

In a contrarian call, on natural gas, he says Cheasepake Energy will be a winner when prices eventually rebound. Oil giant ExxonMobil is another stock he thinks offer good value. Outside of that, Faber says buying large-cap pharmaceuticals like Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson offer good defensive options.

Finally, he suggests U.S. airlines are poised for a rebound. If that happens, international airlines will follow and Thai Airways stock could double.

Debt Comes At The Expense Of A Falling Dollar And Inflation

More debt "comes at the expense of a falling dollar...and much higher inflation rates in the future," says Faber, who notes the U.S. has total debt-to-GDP ratio of 375%, "excluding contingent liabilities from Medicare and Medicaid."

Perhaps more important than absolute debt levels, Faber says much of America's debt has gone to pay for unproductive things like golf courses and big houses and investments with Bernie Madoff.

Meanwhile, emerging market economies, in Asia particularly, have much lower debt levels and have used leverage to pay for modernization of factories and educated workers when they've used debt, Faber says.

"The Western world is overleveraged," he says. "We've mortgaged the future and our children will have to pay for that somehow."

"Assets Are Fairly Priced, At Best"

Marc Faber, editor of the Gloom, Boom, and Doom Report, stated in a web cast on Yahoo! Finance he thought Equities, Commodities, and Real Estate are the only options for new capital even though they are not particularly attractive.

Faber thinks these assets, although only fairly priced at best, will increase in nominal value as inflation takes hold. He feels leaving capital in cash, money markets, or even worse, US treasuries, is not an option over the longer term. The US dollar will eventually be worth only a small fraction of what it is now over the next ten years. Because of this owning equities and hard assets will help hedge against hyper inflation, although on an inflation adjusted basis Faber sees little upside for any asset class.

"The System Forces You To Speculate"

"We have zero interest rates and say, you have a million dollars in deposits that don`t get you any interest. So the system, the central bank, essentially forces you to do something to achieve some kind of return. So you take the million dollars and either you buy equities or you buy commodities or you buy bonds or foreign currencies. But you have to do something and that leads to a lot of volatility in financial markets."

"You Can Boost Any Kind Of Asset By Printing Money"

"You can boost any kind of asset by printing money. What then happens, you can print money whether physically with a printing press or electronically, what you don`t really control are the long term consequences of the money printing.

In other words, the money then flows into the system and it can go into commodities, or into equities, or it can go into art prices, it can go into wages or into comsuption. And when we have large excess capacity and you have very high unemployment it doesn`t go into capital spending, into the construction of new factories, into the acquisition of equipment and machinery or R&D. It goes mostly into speculation" in Bloomberg, September 14

Faber On Bloomberg: Interest Rates, US Dollar, Stocks And Commodities

Investor Marc Faber said government spending and low interest rates will keep the U.S. deficit “very high” and will spur inflation. Interest rates will be kept “artificially low” and remain “near zero for a long time” in the U.S., Faber, the publisher of the Gloom, Boom & Doom report, said today in a presentation broadcast on the Internet. “The deficit will stay very high and that will create some kind of more inflation down the road.”

The Federal Reserve is likely to continue to “print money” in an effort to boost the U.S. economy, and that, combined with low interest rates, will spur weakness in the dollar, Faber said. U.S. President Barack Obama has pumped up the nation’s marketable debt to an unprecedented $6.94 trillion as he borrows to spur the world’s largest economy.

“Money printing will be unprecedented because the deficit will need to be financed,” Faber said. “The weaker the economy, the more the stock market will go up because the money that is being printed will go into” speculative assets.

“If the dollar is weak, there is a very good chance that equity prices could rise quite substantially,” Faber said. A weaker dollar is “good for asset prices.”

Inflation Or Deflation?

“Surely, it is academically interesting to discuss for hours whether we are in a ‘deflationary’ or ‘inflationary’ economic environment.

The different views on this issue have become extremely polarized with the deflationists maintaining that equities and commodities will collapse and that government bonds will rally. The believers in higher future inflation rates on the other hand argue that large fiscal deficits and expansionary monetary policies will boost selected asset prices and eventually flow into rising consumer prices and lead to higher interest rates.

But, as I have tried to show by comparing oil with natural gas prices, in an economic system some prices may be rising, while others decline. This process is continuous and particularly evident in the price movements of various asset classes when there are massive excess capacities, which constrain new capital investments, and zero interest rates, which force cash holders to ‘speculate’ in one, or the other, asset class.”

We Have Extreme Optimism Among Investors And Economists About The Outlook For The Economy And The Stock Market

We had a tremendous rally for the March lows to around June 15 and after that equity markets have continued to go up but at much lower rates. In other words, between March and June 15 in the United States we went up 43% and since then we are up 7%. The rate of increase has diminished. At the same time, the US Dollar which was very weak between the end of February and June of this year has traded in a very narow range against the euro. Sine June we are flat against the euro despite of the fact that there has been lots of negative comments against the US Dollar.

Now, we have extreme optimism among investors and economists about the outlook for the economy and the stock market and extreme pessimism about the US Dollar. And therefore its possible that in the next 2 weeks or 3 months its possible that equities will disappoint.

"I Believe That In The Next 2 Weeks We Will Have Big Moves In The Markets"

We should not look only at indexes because a lot of stocks now are lower then they were in May, like the oil stocks, resource stocks are down from the peak in May/June of this year.

So, some correction has been under way already and also in global markets we had corrections like in China where the index is down almost 20% from the peak and isn`t higher then in June.

So after this run up in stock prices we had between March and June, since then the market has continued to go up, but the big move was between March and June.

I would also like to point out that the Euro currency has been trading in a narrow range against the US dollar, since June we are at the same level around 1.4300. And I believe that in the next 10 days, 2 weeks, we will have big moves in the markets and I wouldn`t be surprised if the dollar strengthned and equity markets would correct and possibly quite meaningfully. in NDTV video interview
