Dr. Marc Faber, renowned for his unconventional expertise in investment strategies, is a fund manager and author. He serves as the editor of the “Gloom Boom & Doom Report” and the “Monthly Market Commentary”, earning international recognition as the pessimistic stock market expert, “Dr. Doom”.

Born in Switzerland in 1946, Faber pursued economics at the University of Zurich and achieved a magna cum laude doctorate in economics at just 24 years old. His career took him to White Weld & Company Limited in New York, Zurich, and Hong Kong between 1970 and 1978. Since 1973, he has resided in Hong Kong.

From 1978 to 1990, Faber was instrumental in establishing the Asia business for Drexel Burnham Lambert (HK) Ltd. In 1990, he ventured into his own business. While he maintains an office in Hong Kong, he has lived in Chiang Mai, Northern Thailand since 2001.

Faber’s monthly publications offer investors insights into potential market trends. He gained notoriety for accurately predicting the significant stock market crash on Wall Street on October 19, 1987. The Dow Jones plummeted by 23 percent in a single day, marking an unprecedented collapse that led to Faber’s enduring title of “Dr. Doom.”

Like all predictors, Faber has had his share of misses. If his predictions had always been accurate, market prices would have been significantly lower. His doom predictions stem from his early recognition of the inflationary danger posed by excessive money printing.

Regardless of whether you agree with him or not, Marc Faber’s historical knowledge and his thoughts on political systems, competition, freedom, distribution, and socialism offer a wealth of learning opportunities.
