"The book, Riding the Millennial Storm, is entertaining, highly readable and most important, provides an understanding of how Marc Faber, one of the great financial and investment minds in the world today, analyzes the major trends in the financial markets and economies of the world. Dr Faber always takes a bold and provocative stance on the important issues of the day and has always provided his readers and clients with insights into the future which are grounded in historical understanding, healthy skepticism for the investments fads and manias of the day and accurate knowledge. Such knowledge is derived from his own research into what is really going on below the surface. This book is most timely now that the global investment mania, which Dr Faber predicted, has ended.

"One does not go to see Marc Faber, Hongkong's iconoclastic share pundit in the expectation of good news. But after listening to him, no investor could clairn he had not been warned. For Faber, a blunt-spoken Swiss, says the things nobody wants to her...." -The Sunday Times (London)

"Marc Faber, congenital contrarian and shrewd Swiss investment advisor..." -Fortune

Meet Dr. Doom. If there are two sides to every coin then Dr Faber is almost always on the other side. Famous for his contrarian approach to investing, Marc Faber does not run with the bulls or bait the bears but steers his own course through the maelstrom of international finance markets. In 1987 he warned his clients to cash out before Black Monday in Wall Street; he made them handsome profits by forecasting the bursting of the Japanese Bubble in 1990; he correctly predicted the collapse in US gaming stocks in 1993; and he foresaw the Asia-Pacific financial crisis of 1997/98 and the resulting global volatility. Now Dr Faber has re-drawn his map of the world and sees the approach of a period of global financial restructuring that will transform the established world order. In this original and entertaining read, Asia's leading satirist, Nury Vittachi, profiles the Swiss-born investment guru, reviews his spectacular successes (and equally spectacular failures) and details his complex view of the next twenty years - a time when investors will be on an exhilarating rollercoaster ride to a barely recognizable world. "Marc Faber is one of the most creative and original thinkers in the financial world. A fabulous book!" - Barton M. Biggs Chairman, Morgan Stanley Asset Management, Inc. "I love Marc Faber. He is a thoughtful contrarian with a historical perspective. He doesn't fit the conventional mold, which is why he is successful. Long may his ponytail wave." - Robert R.
