Marc Faber reveals where all the new gov't money is going



Friday, September 18, 2009

From (unauthorized) Marc Faber Blog:

You can boost any kind of asset by printing money. What then happens, you can print money whether physically with a printing press or electronically, what you don't really control are the long term consequences of the money printing.

In other words, the money then flows into the system and it can go into commodities, or into equities, or it can go into art prices, it can go into wages or into consumption. And when we have large excess capacity and you have very high unemployment 
it doesn`t go into capital spending, into the construction of new factories, into the acquisition of equipment and machinery or R&D. It goes mostly into speculation" in Bloomberg, September 14
