Bloomberg: Mortgage-Bond Slump in U.S. Deepening as Jumbo, Alt-A Debt Extend Losses
By Jody Shenn - Jun 28, 2011 1:30 AM GMT+0900

U.S. mortgage bonds without government backing are extending losses as signs of a weakening U.S. economy and concern that Greece may default on its debt curb risk-taking.

Finance·Money, Marc Faber


I suppose the world will always develop but that we will always have periods where we have wars and tremendous wealth destruction, or where we have plague and where the population shrinks. I am optimistic about certain issues and pessimistic about others.

Economy, Marc Faber


Economics is a very complex system and is essentially human life and the behavior of humans. So to build one theory around it is probably wrong.

I think that interest rates in time will be much higher because the fiscal deficit will stay very elevated or even increase and that will impair the ability of the government to pay the interest. If the ability to pay the interest is impaired, there's only one way out and that is for them to print money, and so eventually you will get higher interest rates.
