The markets are going to go into meltdown soon, so expect stocks to lose 20 percent of their value, Marc Faber, author of the Gloom, Boom and Doom report told CNBC on Tuesday.

“I don’t think markets are going down because of Greece, I don’t think markets are going down because of the ‘fiscal cliff’ — because there won’t be a ‘fiscal cliff,’ ” Faber told CNBC’s “Squawk Box.” “The market is going down because corporate profits will begin to disappoint, the global economy will hardly grow next year or even contract, and that is the reason why stocks, from the highs of September of 1,470 on the S&P, will drop at least 20 percent, in my view.”
Faber, who is known for his bearish views, cited tech giant Apple [AAPL 546.13 3.30 (+0.61%) ], a company whose disappointing earnings have caused its stock to fall 20 percent from its September highs and 14 percent in the past month.
A series of poor quarterly earnings from corporate giants such as Amazon.com [AMZN 226.785 0.315 (+0.14%) ], McDonald’s [MCD 85.02 0.14 (+0.16%) ] and Google [GOOG 666.00 0.10 (+0.02%)

I am just your average every day citizen. I do not profess to be an economist. Nevertheless, I too believe the market is headed for a huge drop once investors understand the true impact of Obama’s Marxist agenda. I see an America under distress. Distress because of the debasement of our currency. Distressed because 1/3 of our Energy power is being destroyed, which will cause marked increases in energy costs. I see an America divided along racial and class unheard of in our history thanks to the efforts of Obama. I see one side of this divide calling for secession, arming themselves to the teeth. I see massive evidence of voter fraud leading to Obama’s re-election to office. Finally, America is facing a future that is fractured, dysfunctional and angry. War is coming, people will die, because this appears to be Obama’s legacy. May God help us all!
