Marc Faber on NDTV, September 1, 2009 (New Delhi Television India);Dr Marc Faber, one of the world's best known economists, editor of the Gloom Boom and Doom report, and author of Tomorrow's Gold said that the correction in equity markets was overdue after the huge run-up since March and currency markets are due for a change in its course.
The ADP report of 298,000 non-farm sector jobs lost for August 2009 in USA was received somewhat positively. How is it in perspective to 2008?
August 2008 - 33,000;
Sept 08 - 8,000;
Oct 08 - 157,0000;
Nov 08 - 250,000;
Dec 08 - 693,000;
The before adjustments numbers above might suggest that August - November naturally see less job losses. But 2009 is still over 800% worse in the number of non-farm jobs lost in August than in 2008 regardless of how one looks at it.
