Positioning Your Assets for Growth in Uncertain Times

Special Precious Metals Report with James Turk

This week Franklin Sanders of The Moneychanger and I will be joined by special guest James Turk, founder of GoldMoney.

We will review the big picture for precious metals - defined by the growth of physical holdings by central banks and institutional investors and exchange traded funds by retail investors.

We will review the growing role of gold trading and storage options in the Middle East and Asia as well as developments in the sovereign bond markets.

We will discuss the recent price decline in precious metals and stock markets, how this compares to seasonal patterns and our expectations for prices in the fall.

Remember to e-mail or post your questions for us before Thursday night, or ask them live through our web access. You can listen now through the web as well - no need to call in if you are coming in from other continents.

For Subscribers Only—A Solari Report: Options for Storing Precious Metals—we have prepared a special report on options for storing your precious metals. It will be posted this Thursday as the resource link for this week’s Solari Report.

Subscribers enjoy access to our special Precious Metals Market Report library so you easily identify and access all of the precious metals content.
