A tribute to Marc Faber, part two: Calling the US housing top
- The second of a two-part series looking back at the recent financial predictions by Dr Marc Faber, the man who also warned investors for months about the coming 1987 crash. This article looks at how Faber correctly called the top in the US housing bubble far earlier than most commentators in his AME Info column.

A tribute to Marc Faber, part one: US dollar, Nasdaq, gold and oil
- Dr Marc Faber once said that any journalist could write a positive or negative article about him by picking out his good or bad calls. But just as Nury Vittachi could sit down in the late 1990s and pen a whole book that sided with the postive view of Faber, AME Info has scanned over 100 articles and reached a similar opinion.

2008 outlook for currencies, stocks and commodities
- Back in the summer of 1988 I was glomming around northern Virginia. My best friend worked at Mount Vernon Manor, George Washington’s solid gold house, making and selling hamburgers. He explained to me that there had been a couple of instances of Japanese tourists trying to pay for a $1 orange juice with a $100 bill (and not looking for $99 in change).

Buy gold to side-step the collapsing US dollar!
- My preferred asset currency is still gold and other precious metals. Near term, however, sentiment is overly positive and additional positions should only be taken on a setback.

Considerations for gold investors, tech stocks and emerging markets
- Investors have reached a crossroads: Either you believe that the expansionary monetary policies of central banks will lift asset prices further or you take the strongly contrarian view that they will not work and that the world will sink into a deflationary recession.

No option for Fed except a bail out!
- My view is that unless the Fed is prepared to accept a vicious recession it has no other option but to bail out the system no matter how unpleasant the consequences will be in the future. The problem is really that in recent years the Fed has never controlled credit growth and that the monster needs now to be fed with even more money and credit growth.

Market turbulence is far from done!
- Now, I am aware that most market observers will argue that there is nothing to worry about and that we are in the midst of a sharp correction, such as we experienced in May/June 2006 or between February 22 and March 14 of this year.

Saudi Arabian stocks now interesting, but shun debt risk!
- The stock market which now looks most interesting is the Saudi Arabian market, which has so far failed to participate in the recovery of the Middle Eastern region’s stock markets.
