As you may know Dr. Doom is the familiar name for the widely followed investor Marc Faber. He made a name for himself by telling investors to sell all their U.S. stocks a week before 1987 crash. He also publishes the popular GloomBoomDoom newsletter.
Despite the negative tone of his nickname, Faber is bullish -- he thinks that some stocks are heading for a boom. “Commodities are very cheap in real terms,” he says. We found his sentiment so intriguing that we invited Faber to be our guest on Fast Money.

And it’s interesting to note that in a recent Bloomberg report Faber suggested some other commodities plays. Specifically he said to keep an eye on gold miners.
