2014 crash will be worse than 1987's: Marc Faber
Alex Rosenberg | @CNBCAlex 4 Hours Ago
Marc Faber says the stock market is setting up for a decline more painful
than the sudden crash of 1987.
"I think it's very likely that we're seeing, in the next 12 months, an '87-
type of crash," Faber said with a devious chuckle on Thursday's episode of "
Futures Now." "And I suspect it will be even worse."

Faber, the editor and publisher of the Gloom, Boom & Doom Report, has
recently called for growth stocks to decline. And he says the pain in the
Internet and biotech sectors is just getting started.
"I think there are some groups of stocks that are highly vulnerable because
they're in cuckoo land in terms of valuations," Faber said. "They have no
earnings. They're valued at price-to-sales. And this is not a good metric in
the long run."
To be sure, there are prominent investors that disagree with Faber, among
them legendary stockpicker Bill Miller, who said this week that conditions
for a bad market simply don't exist.
But it's not just momentum stocks that Faber is wary of. He says that
investors are coming to a stark realization.
"I believe that the market is slowly waking up to the fact that the Federal
Reserve is a clueless organization," Faber said. "They have no idea what
they're doing. And so the confidence level of investors is diminishing, in
my view."
As investors adjust to this fact, and valuations shrink, he predicts a
massive decline in the market.
"This year, for sure—maybe from a higher diving board—the S&P will drop 20
percent," Faber said, adding: "I think, rather, 30 percent. Who knows. But
all I'm saying is that it's not a very good time, right now, to buy stocks."
Previously, in August 2013, Faber predicted that a 1987-style crash was
coming. The S&P 500 is about 9 percent higher since he made that call.
