Today’s guest on the Expat Money Show is Marc Faber, Editor and Publisher of the ‘’Gloom, Boom & Doom Report.’’

Born in Zurich, Switzerland, he studied Economics at the University of Zurich and, at the age of 24, obtained a Ph.D. in Economics magna cum laude.

In 1990, he set up his business, publishing a widely read monthly investment newsletter, “THE GLOOM, BOOM & DOOM” report highlighting unusual investment opportunities.

He is also the author of several books, including “TOMORROW’S GOLD – Asia’s Age of Discovery” 

TODAY’S CONVERSATION WITH MARC FABER

• Listen in to today’s conversation I have with Marc Faber about the possibility of war between China and Taiwan. What are his predictions, and what are they willing to do regarding money and war?
• Do the Taiwanese people want conflict? Or is it that the US likes to provoke conflict?
• Where do you hold your assets? Marc shares his basic allocation and the percentage for each.
• Is holding cash a good idea? And if so, what currency is worth holding?
• Why is it vitally important to hold your gold in the country you live in and not in another country?
• Online brokerage accounts. Are they a good idea? How safe are they?
• An important question to ask yourself: How will I lose the least in an environment where things are bad? Marc explains all.
• A serious risk that the governments will impose some sort of wealth taxation. In an emergency decree, a government can do anything; look at what Trudeau did during the trucker strike.
• We discuss Qatar and the UAE and their monarchies, as opposed to the corruption with Canada’s Trudeau and the fact that democracies have the very worst people at the top. 
• I asked Marc, what countries would you diversify in? 
• If you are holding US cash, what other fiat should we look at? And what does he believe the top 3 currencies are?

CONCLUSION

Self-learning is such an important topic to me, considering I have a rather short experience with formal education. I started failing out of school at 12 and by 15 I was completely done with high school and never went back. I have had to continually push myself harder than my peers to learn more and more so I could stay competitive in the marketplace and increase my own income.
