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 finance 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 financial crisis of 1997/98 and the resulting global volatility.
Now Dr Faber has re-drawn 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 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.
