Faber: Overheden zullen ooit 20 % tot 30 % van ons geld afpakken

In 2011 verklaarde Marc Faber dat alle pogingen mislukt waren om de overtollige schulden weg te werken en dat centrale banken er niet in slagen om voldoende inflatie te creëren om de schulden weg te inflateren.

Spaanse 'investeerders' lijden verliezen tot 96%

The 'relative' innocence of the depositors in Cyprus who saw their savings crushed by the hammer-blow of Germany's reality last week is, it seems, not the only hardship that the European people are suffering. In Spain, thanks to their FROB restructuring, shareholders and bondholders (including hundreds of thousands of unsophisticated 'retail' investors who were sold 'fail-safe' and 'high-return' investments) face losses (haircuts) from 96% (equity) to 36% (subordinated debt) and 61% (preference shares) following the 'bailout' of Spain's dodgiest cajas (or savings banks).

As The Economist notes, clients infamously included Alzheimer’s sufferers and at least one customer who signed by dipping a finger in ink; shareholders should know the risks but the vast number of Spaniards who bought preference shares and complex subordinated debt from their cajas often did not. For example, a Madrid court is investigating whether Bankia misled investors: many of the 350,000 retail customers who bought Bankia shares in its €3.1 billion flotation in 2011 have already seen their money go up in smoke.
