Ein Marc Faber Interview:
....As Michael Berry remarked, “Gold is no friend to the world’s central bankers. The printing press is their friend.” In fact, I would be very surprised if the Dow Jones Industrials/Gold Ratio didn’t decline to between 5 and 10 within the next three years. Therefore, I should like to reiterate my recommendation to accumulate gold.
Other commodities that could come to life this year are sugar, cotton, natural gas, and palladium. Moreover, uranium is unlikely to disappoint the longs. In general, some special situations aside, I am not positive on industrial commodities in a slow growth or recession type of environment.
Among commodities and currencies, my preferred asset remains physical gold held outside the U.S., for the simple reason that — depression or inflation — it is very likely to outperform financial assets. For gold, I believe the best is yet to come!
Best regards,
Marc Faber
