Marc Faber: The US Debt Timebomb Explodes In 5-10 Years

Marc Faber appeared on Bloomberg yesterday evening, and as always he was provocative. A few points

  • He sees a correction in the near-term, but a possible rally in the second half of the year. Though he doesn’t see the rally hitting new highs.
  • As far as bubbles, he’s particularly concerned about US debt, and says in 5-10 years the interest rates will become a major problem.
  • And in terms of currency, he thinks it’s silly to think that a weak US dollar will save our export sector. If that’s all it took, he argues, Zimbabwe and Latin America in the 80s would have been export and manufacturing powerhouses
