Declínio ocidental

Marc Faber, o reputado historiador económico e autor do livro "Gloom, Boom and Doom Report," tem alertado para o declínio do poder económico ocidental. Acredita que a geração de jovens de hoje entrados no mercado de trabalho será a primeira em 200 anos a ter ter um padrão de vida mais baixo do que os seus pais tiveram. Aposta no crescimento das acções asiáticas nos próximos anos e continua a ser um defensor da posse do ouro físico. Eis mais um conselho do investidor suíço: "We are in a world that is driven by money printing and, in general, I believe the standards of living for many people in the Western world will continue to decline as they have declined over the last 20 years, if we look at median income in real terms. How the world will look in 5 or 10 you and I and nobody knows, although some people think they know. So my advice is to be diversified. Hold some real estate, stocks, bonds and gold and you have to also diversify your assets geographically – don't hold everything in the US. Hold some outside the US as well; hold some outside Germany, outside Switzerland. You have to be diversified. Then you have to hope for the best".
