Marc Faber on the coming global bust

The Fed has created a bubble in everything - stocks in emerging market, real estate everywhere in the world, commodities, art. The only asset class that is down is the U.S. dollar.

It is quite likely that the current synchronized global economic boom and the universal, all-encompassing asset bubble will lead to a colossal bust. [With commodity prices so inflated, I expect an] increase in international tensions [over resources].
