Markets Will Perceive Further Government Intervention As Inflationary

Marc Faber still believes the greatest risk to global economy is the impending inflation that will occur due to easy Central Bank policy. Faber says Friday’s “key reversal day” was a sign that markets will perceive further government intervention as inflationary and will result in higher prices for commodities, equities and gold.

US Deficits Will Keep Going Up

My biggest concern is that because of a weak economy, the budget and fiscal deficits will remain very high. With Mr Obama as President, there is a very good chance the deficit will go up and the government debt will expand and expand, until one day the interest payments on government debt will become unbearable.

Little Upside To US Treasuries

“I think that there isn’t much upside potential in Treasurys unless it’s for the short term. But if I look 10 years ahead, where do I want to have my money, then certainly not in US Treasuries”

India Is More Attractive Than China

There are investors buying into India for its attractiveness. Then there are more who are avoiding India due to its expensiveness. Either ways, there is no denying that India has caught investor attention from across the globe. Recently, Marc Faber has stated that he prefers India over China and US Treasury bonds. The reason being that the US and China will weaken over time. China is slowing down, and inflation would catch up with the US thus weakening its performance over time. On the other hand, India's long term potential is way more attractive. India is not just rich demographically but is also rich in natural resources. A large part of this is yet to be discovered and hence the potential to unlock value.

Whenever Food Prices Go Up, You Get Inflationary Pressures

I think eventually inflation will accelerate. Whenever food prices go up, and grains have been very strong recently, with the sum delay, you get inflationary pressures.

Buy Farmland And Gold

The stakes have not been this high for some 70 years, and as Marc Faber advised recently, the best things to do to prepare for whatever is coming are to buy gold, move away from urban areas and purchase farmland, and be prepared to defend that land with force should civil unrest and food riots occur, as many are now forecasting.

We Will Have Much Higher Inflation Rates

The issue here is quite irrelevant, whether we have deflation first or inflation first. Eventually we’ll have much higher inflation rates, because if deflation comes first they’re going to have even more stimulus packages and even more printing. And as you know, many leading economists, they call for additional stimulus which I think is ludicrous, it’s crazy to even suggest additional stimulus. But, that is what the Keynesians believe is the right thing to do and that will bankrupt Western governments, not just in the US, but everywhere.

Abu Dhabi Lecture: Short Summary

He began by explaining why extreme deflation scenarios are extremely unlikely under the Bernanke Fed, comparing the Fed chairman’s commitment to an anti-deflation strategy to Hitler’s Mein Kampf, a book that also clearly stated a policy program in advance but was not widely believed until it was too late.

Likewise Dr Faber believes Mr. Bernanke is committed to printing money and will in any case have very little choice because of entitlements and the US constitution. Thus he could see the S&P 500 dropping back from current levels to say 950 in this autumn but by then Fed monetary policy would be strongly inflationary and bring the market back up.

Dr Faber pointed out that with the US so deep in debt the Fed thinks it cannot allow asset prices to drop below a certain point because that would devastate the balance sheets of the banks with debt deflation. But he thinks in the long run this is just rolling up another crisis for the future that will destroy the US dollar and cause an even bigger financial crisis.

Declaring himself the ‘most pessimistic of forecasters, nobody is more pessimistic than me’ Dr Faber outlined a scenario in which the dollar has to be replaced by another unit after a future inflation, and holders of cash and bonds lose virtually everything in the process.

Gold Is The Asset Choice For A 10 Year Holding Period

If Marc Faber had to choose one asset class for the next 10 years it woud be gold. Cash and US treasuries would be be his least preferred decennial investment. US equities would be a reasonable choice for wealth protection, though not necessarily grow much when adjusted for inflation.

This was the broad message that the author of The Gloom, Boom and Doom Report delivered to a CPA Association meeting last night in Abu Dhabi, home of the world’s biggest sovereign wealth fund the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority.
