Marc Faber is buying European stocks

One of the leading investors Marc Faber has recently focused his interest in buying European stocks. Although the dark predictions about the future of Greece and Spain, contrarian investors like Marc Faber will never miss chance like this. CEO of Marc Faber Ltd and author of the monthly Gloom, Boom & Doom Report, Swiss-born Faber serves as a director or adviser to a number of investment funds, mostly focused on emerging markets.

It is commonly known, that for the most part, Marc has been out of stocks in the world's major countries for many years – since well before the dot-com crash in 2000. Recently on Bloomberg TV, Marc Faber admitted that European stocks are relatively attractive right now. Most European markets peaked out a year ago in May 2011 and are down very substantially. They are approaching or even exceeding the lows of 2009. That gives you many shares of good-quality companies that are yielding 5% to 7%.

He explained, that if asked about the Nasdaq in December 1999, he would have said this is the biggest bubble ever.

Despite that the Nasdaq continued to go up 30 percent until March 21 2000, and then it's been a disaster.

Greece must exit the euro zone right away

I don't know what will happen to the euro zone. I know what should happen though.

And what should happen is that greece exits the euro zone right away and defaults on all its obligation to foreigners. If they have obligations to foreigners, it's the mistake of the bureaucrats in Brussels.

According to the polls in Greece, because they know that in the future it will be worth 70% less than a euro and that is why they don't want to leave.
