MARC FABER
Dr. Faber is the editor of the widely read Gloom Boom and Doom Report. We ask the legendary editor to give us his best guess on the looming bond-market crash. You may be surprised to hear his time-frame. Plus, we cover GMO’s (again and for the last time), Detroit’s corruption, Asia’s nightlife, and as always, our listener mail bag.
