Marc Faber: "I Would Recommend People Buy Every Month Some Gold For Ever"

Marc Faber's latest thoughts on the euro (not good),

on Greece (also not too good),

and gold (good to quite good).

"I don't think it will work out, and I think other countries like Spain and probably Portugal (and Italy) will then also have to be bailed out eventually, and it will lead to more monetization in Europe, one of the reason the euro has been so week...

The pain of the austerity will be very, very burdensome on Greece, and eventually the economy can not grow with the kind of budget they will have to enact, and under these conditions their currency is way overvalued (they are in the euro).

And so without the ability to grow, their ability to pay the interest and repay the debt will actually diminish.... I think everybody should accumulate some gold over time.

I would recommend people to buy every month some gold for ever."

    Do you think it is more worthwhile to buy gold or to (spread) bet on it going up in value?

    Yes mate, I might act on a recommendation if it seemed the author had previously attended a college or similar.

    If you had bought one ounce of gold, on each anniversary of the current high, for the last 20 years, it would have averaged a little under 265GBP per ounce.
    Even if todays price dips back to 700GBP, that is a good buy.

    But as we all know, gold is a no risk asset.
