The Solari Report – 09 Apr 2009

 

This is the second week of the month. That means I am headed over to Westpoint, Tennessee on Thursday, April 9th, to join Franklin Sanders and his family for dinner at the Sanders homestead down the road from their Top of the World Farm. A lively dinner discussion will be followed by our monthly precious metals update by bridge call for this week’s Solari Report.

Over the last two months, Franklin and I covered the most frequently asked questions that both Solari and  Franklin and his team at The Moneychanger get about buying gold and silver coins. You can find these mp3 in The Solari Report archives.

This month, in addition to covering current market events and your latest questions, we will be talking about how Franklin and his colleagues track and trade the Gold-Silver Ratio as well as the performance of the equity markets when priced in gold and silver. As background for our discussion, Franklin has generously provided us with historical charts.

We will also review the new thriller, The International, and what it can teach you about the latest G-20 meeting, the ongoing bailouts and the global financial coup d’etat underway, including the debt bondage promoted in small towns in Tennessee.

  1. Catherine and Franklin,
    Could you adress, what percentage of net worth do you recommend be held in gold and silver.

  3. Hey Catherine, be sure and tell Franklin “Thanks Again!” for his testimony in the Georgia House for the Constitutional Tender Act. 🙂

  4. Catherine, Will you be covering how the IMF selloff is affecting/will affect the value of gold long term on your call Thursday? Hope so! Many thanks, Layne

  5. I came across this video while reading some of Lucy Komisar’s work on the reinsurance industry. Reinsurance is just a helpful thing so that companies can inflate their earnings or cook their books. When the insurers thought they would get caught, they switched to CDS which they have so far managed to keep unregulated.. but the masses are getting really tired.. and so are some of our lawmakers.

    Here Komisar gets into money laundering, offshore tax havens and corporate tax evaders. The common thread for allowing tax evasion is “tax competition” as being a way to reign in governments. Her video puts this all in perspective.

    I apologize if this is old. It was new to me and I imagine it will be new to others. Well worth the watch.

  6. They say that the U.S. dollar (or is that peso? lira?) is the worlds reserve currency. Breathtaking how the price of gold never responds to a trillion printed here, there, everywhere. Thanks Catherine to you, the folks at GATA and a few other people who do yeomans work to try to get the message of gold manipulation into the MSM.

    The good thing is that all this is creating millions of jobs helping out the peasants. Tell a lie often enough and I suppose at least those in power will believe it.

  7. James:

    Start here….
    http://solari.com/blog/?p=2342

    You definately want to read the Consolidated Financial Reports (See the CAFR links) for your area and you want to check out Eagle Eye for what agencies are doing the big contracting in your state and then drill down.

  8. Catherine,
    Can you point me in a direction for some
    guidance?
    I’m looking to start finding out government
    contracts or how the money is working in my
    community.

    Thanks,
    James
