Marc Faber, Interviewed by Jim Puplava
David Fuller's view My
thanks to a subscriber for this excellent
interview, not leased because of Jim Puplava's searching questions. I have
posted interviews with Marc Faber before but this is the best by far. The others
are usually brief segments on financial news channels with too much emphasis
on the short term by the interviewer. Also, there are some things that one is
either reluctant to say on a TV channel or that may be cut. Marc Faber is certainly
candid in this interview.
It is
about 54 minutes long but I do not think that you will be bored and it is certainly
not repetitious. Marc Faber is a thinker who travels widely and this adds to
his global perspective, although not necessarily to his timing. My only cautionary
note is that it takes him a while to warm up and his opening comments are the
least interesting, in my opinion, when he is hypothesising about an extreme
deflationary scenario which he disagrees with. Mr Bernanke is more than capable
of preventing that, but at the risk of future inflation. Subscribers are unlikely
to agree with everything in this interview but it is stimulating and there are
plenty of interesting observations on gold.
