As Barron's notes in this recent interview,
Marc Faber view the world with a skeptical eye, and never hesitates to
speak his mind when things don't look quite right. In other words, he
would be the first in a crowd to tell you the emperor has no clothes,
and has done so early, often, and aptly in the case of numerous
investment bubbles. With even the world's bankers now concerned at 'unsustainable bubbles',
it is therefore unsurprising that in the discussion below, Faber
explains, among other things, the fallacy of the Fed's help "the problem
is the money doesn't flow into the system evenly, how with
money-printing "the majority loses, and the minority wins,"
and how, thanks to the further misallocation of capital, "people with
assets are all doomed, because prices are grossly inflated globally for
stocks and bonds." Faber says he buys gold every month, adding that "I
want to have some assets that aren't in the banking system. When the
asset bubble bursts, financial assets will be particularly vulnerable."

Thanks, World Reserve Currency, But No Thanks: Australia And China To Enable Direct Currency Convertibility
by Tyler Durden
A month ago we pointed out that as a result of Australia's unprecedented reliance on China as a target export market, accounting for nearly 30% of all Australian exports (with the flipside being just as true, as Australia now is the fifth-biggest source of Chinese imports), the two countries may as well be joined at the hip.
Over the weekend, Australia appears to have come to the same conclusion, with the Australian reporting that the land down under is set to say goodbye to the world's "reserve currency" in its trade dealings with the world's biggest marginal economic power, China, and will enable the direct convertibility of the Australian dollar into Chinese yuan, without US Dollar intermediation, in the process "slashing costs for thousands of business" and also confirming speculation that China is fully intent on, little by little, chipping away at the dollar's reserve currency status until one day it no longer is.
