Speaking to ET Now, Marc Faber, Editor and Publisher of “The Gloom, Boom & Doom Report” says a stock selloff was expected on lower-than-expected US recovery. He is seeing a disconnect between the fed & the real economy. He believes investors use conflict to sell overvalued stocks. He feels only commodities, Agri, oil, and precious metals have benefitted. He advises owning gold, silver, platinum as a hedge against turbulence. He’s seen disastrous monetary policies that boosted inflation. He would buy Indian stocks vs the US once the conflict resolves. He expects the value to outperform growth.
