Description of Riding the Millennial Storm - Marc Faber's Path to Profit in the Financial Crisis |
Meet Dr Doom. If there are two sides to every coin then Dr Faber is almost always on the other side. Famous for his contrarian approach to investing, Marc Faber does not run with the bulls or bait the bears but steers his own course through the maelstrom of international financial markets. In 1987 he warned his clients to cash out before Black Monday in Wall Street; he made them handsome profits by forecasting the bursting of the Japanese Bubble in 1990; he correctly predicted the collapse in US gaming stocks in 1993; and he foresaw the Asia-Pacific crisis of 1997/98 and the resulting global volatility.
Now Dr Faber has redrawn his map of the world and sees the approach of a period of global financial restructuring that will transform the established world order.
In this original and highly entertaining read, Asia's leading satirist, Nury Vittachi, profiles the Swiss-born investment guru, reviews his spectacular successes (and equally spectacular failures) and details his complex view of the next twenty years - a time when investors will be on an exhilarating rollercoaster ride to a barely recognizable world.'

Reviews'You will learn an enormous amount from Marc Faber - whether you agree with him or not.'
Jim Rogers, author Investment Biker
'One does not go to see Marc Faber, Hong Kong's iconoclastic share pundit, in the expectation of good news. But after listening to him, no investor could claim that he had not been warned. For Faber, a blunt-spoken Swiss, says the things nobody wants to hear.'
The Sunday Times
'Faber is the region's (Asia's) most notorious bear.'
The Wall Street Journal
'Faber is a congenital contrarian and shrewd Swiss investment advisor.'
Fortune magazine
'Marc Faber is one of the most creative and original thinkers in the financial world. A fabulous book!'
Barton Biggs, Chairman, Morgan Stanley Asset Management, Inc.
'I love Marc Faber. He is a thoughtful contrarian with a historical perspective. He doesn't fit the conventional mould, which is why he is successful. Long may his ponytail wave.'
Robert Prechter, Jr., President, Elliott Wave International
