Update: as previewed earlier, Sprott announced that at the request of the Board of Directors and Sprott management, Marc Faber has resigned as a director of the Company effective immediately.
‘The recent comments by Dr. Faber are deeply disappointing and are completely contradictory with the views of Sprott and its employees,’ said Peter Grosskopf, CEO of Sprott. ‘We pride ourselves on being a diverse organization and comments and behavior of this sort will neither be condoned nor tolerated. We are committed to providing an inclusive workplace for all of our employees and we extend the same respect to our clients and investors.’
Separately, both CNBC and Fox Business Network, cable channels where he had appeared in the past, said they won’t invite him on in the future.

Marc “Dr. Doom” Faber is in trouble, only this time it’s not for yet another doomsday forecast which hasn’t come true, but for launching into a racially charged diatribe telling subscribers to his newsletter that he was glad that ‘white people populated America, and not the blacks.’
