5.0 out of 5 stars The best investment book of the year, July 6 2004

By

Krassimir M Petrov (Bulgaria) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Tomorrow's Gold: Asia's Age of Discovery (Paperback)

I am voracious reader of investment literature. There is no doubt that today Marc Faber is the best market analyst in the world. The books has truely helped me understand the importance of history to economic reasoning, even though I consider myself a mature Austrian. In the last 3 years I have read over 60 investment books, but this is the very best of them all. I highly recommend it; it is bound to change your future.

5.0 out of 5 stars From Economics To Wealth, May 19 2003

By

nsn-too (New York, NY USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Tomorrow's Gold: Asia's Age of Discovery (Paperback)

Finally an author who can tie economic theory to investment ideas. Faber draws upon thousands of years of socio-economic history to explain how regions, sectors, industries, and countries repeat the endless cycles of gloom, boom and doom. Known as Dr. Doom for his uncanny ability to identify (the end of) bubbles and manias (Dow 87, Nikkei, Asian Tigers, Nasdaq recent), Faber is also great at identifying new opportunities. He is excellent at developing big and compelling pictures for all of us myopically basing our expectations on recent events ... and shakes some strongly held beliefs about how economies work. A must read for people trying to make sense of the recent global malaise. As the title suggests, he is bullish on Asia, though he does also cover and support other sectors and regions of the world.
He has a web-site with recent articles that he has written, easily found via a google search.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book, Bad Title, July 6 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Tomorrow's Gold: Asia's Age of Discovery (Paperback)

What Faber puts together here is nothing short of what should be required reading for every investor who got caught up in the 90's bull market only to be disheartened, confused, and bewildered by the aftermath. Most of them won't read this book because they'll assume it's another whacko goldbug treatise. That's a real shame because this is a great intellectual piece on the history of markets, economies,manias, currencies, and the behavior of man through it all. Anyone who reads this and gets caught in another bubble has only himself to blame.

3.0 out of 5 stars Long-term story obvious but what about the in-betweens?
Personally, I'm a little tired hearing about the long-term Asia bull story as we don't need to buy a book to realize it. Read more
