The US Economy Will Not Double Dip For Now.

"I don`t think it will double dip for now, we are living in a global economy today and you have parts of the world that are relatively weak, like the US and Europe, although from the lows they have recovered somewhat. Than you have other parts of the world that are very strong, emerging economies, especially China and India. The big question is what will happen to that part of the world."

Emerging Markets: Turkey

US Bonds Are Not A Good Investment.

“United States government bonds are not a good investment and they are just not attractive. In the next ten years the U.S. will not have a real interest rate, more likely to have a negative interest rate – which means investors will loose nearly 5 percent of their savings.

Neither U.S. bonds nor U.S. cash should be considered as an instrument of investment.”

We Can Have Somewhat Of A Recovery In The US Dollar

“If I look around markets, we had a very negative sentiment about the euro six months ago. Recently, we had a very negative sentiment about the US dollar. From this very low sentiment level for the US dollar where everybody hated the US dollar, in other words we can have somewhat of a recovery.”

US Government Bonds: The Republicans Don`t Want To Increase Taxes And The Democrats Do Not Want To Cut Spending

My view has been for quite some time that in December 2008, when the 10 Year Treasury note yield went down to 2.08%, that was a kind of a generational low. That this was a secular low, and that from here onwards yields will go up, either because of inflation / better economy or because of the huge deficit. Or a combination thereof.

Increasingly investors begin to realize that between the republicans and the democrats...the republicans don`t want to increase taxes and the democrats do not want to cut spending, so the deficit in my opinion will stay above 1 Trillion dollars for as far as the eye can see. -

The Biggest Threat To The Global Economy.

Bank lending in China today is higher then in the United States and its a smaller economy. We also have a credit bubble in China and their dilemma is if they would do the right thing, the economy would go into recession. So, they will postpone it like every other government will do and eventually you have a bursting of the bubble.

Now, will it happen in 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, 3 years? But that is the biggest threat to the global economy.

Holding Cash And Government Bonds Is A Disaster In The Long Run.

What Is The Safest Investment?

Normally what is the safest investment? Treasury bills, cash deposits with banks and then government bonds, corporate bonds, equities are more volatile and more risky, but they also have a higher return. And the highest risk is in commodities because, they do not generate any cash flow. But in this situation, as we have it today, I think that holding cash and government bonds is a disaster in the long run. You may hold a US treasury today and it may rally for 10 days, 3 months, but over the next 10 years it will be a disaster as to have held greek bonds.

My advice is that every responsible individual has first of all, to diversify his assets because we don`t know exactly at what stage the rebooting of the global financial system will happen. Have some money in physical gold ideally outside of the US. You should have some money in equities because as you print money, equity markets tend to go up. Own some farmland, so at least you can live when the reset will happen.

European Bailouts, A Bigger Problem In The Long Run.

"In my view, right from the start it would have been better to let some financial institutions go bankrupt and for the governments to guarantee the deposits, so the shareholders would have lost everything and the bondholders would have taken a haircut. 


But I think these continuous bailouts,  call for more and more problems in the long run."

December Outlook: Currencies, EU Debt Crisis

"Euro is going down against the dollar and will likely fall further because of the EU debt crisis. Generally, a higher dollar leads to lower stock prices. Long-term the dollar will weaken but for now it continues to benefit as the world reserve currency.

Overall, Faber expects world equity markets to remain well supported in the medium-longer term because people have nowhere else to put their money. Once bond yields start to rise, all of those people who piled into bonds will redeploy funds into equities. Also, all of those people sitting in cash are getting tired of zero percent returns and equities make the most sense."

Stock Market Correction Can Continue As Things In Europe Worsen.

Marc Faber is out with his latest report which discusses his outlook for stocks, bonds, commodities, gold, and the dollar. Here are a few highlights:

Equity Markets--Last month, Faber was somewhat cautious on US stocks, saying that sentiment was overly bullish and vulnerable to a correction. So far, we have seen a slight decline in stocks as the QE euphoria fades and worries mount in the PIIGS. Faber thinks the correction could continue as things in Europe worsen. However, he does not expect the market to fall below the 1010-1050 range on the S&P 500 because of the Bernanke. Of all the developed markets, Faber likes Japan the most. He thinks a declining yen will help Japanese equities. Furthermore, Japan is under owned by institutions.
