Marc Faber’s 2026 Outlook: Doom Forecast

💡Overexposed to U.S. stocks? Marc Faber explains why U.S. markets look expensive relative to the rest of the world. Find out if you’re too concentrated with a free portfolio review from Wealthion’s endorsed financial advisors:  

Marc Faber joins Maggie Lake to explain why he believes 2026 is likely to be a difficult year for U.S. markets after decades of asset inflation driven by falling interest rates and policy intervention. He discusses why real-world inflation feels much higher than official yields, why long-term bond markets matter more than central bank promises, and how U.S. equities compare to past market bubbles. Faber explains why he measures stocks against gold, why precious metals still matter, and where diversification fits in a fragile system. The conversation also covers bonds, dividend-paying stocks, emerging markets, and why investors should focus on capital preservation this year, not upside.
