By Catherine Austin Fitts
This Thursday is our third quarter wrap up. I am going to check in with the major trends (see our annual wrap up in January) and review how events and markets unfolded during the last three months. I also want to look forward at the “fiscal cliff” and the central bank- Congressional one-two punch on household financials underway. Finally, I will report on the Transformations & Renewals conference in Tennessee last weekend (yes, it was amazing!) and what I learned about opportunities to rebuild our local and regional economies.
I will start with Money and Markets and Ask Catherine. Please post your questions on the blog.
In Let’s Go to the Movies, I will review Arbitrage, the story of a troubled hedge fund magnate desperate to complete the sale of his trading empire.
