  1. Denis:

    Apologies that you find accessing what you want challenging. Several suggestions:

    1. We have been working on a new blog that will launch by the fourth quarter that is designed to make access much easier, including for smart phones. I believe that will help.

    2. We don’t publish a money & markets in the last week of every month – I have asked the blog master to put a note to that effect in the last week, so no one gets frustrated looking for it.

    3. There is a money & markets library at your resource page, so that make sure to check the library if you are having trouble finding it on the blog post,

    Hope this helps,

    Catherine

    1. Thanks Catherine;

      Here are a couple of User Interface suggestions…

      ~ I noticed the comment that “there is no Ask Catherine commentary on your Aug 28 show”, but it was hidden in the text of article instead of in the place that most users would seek to click to download it. If this comment was placed in the top download link location (when there is no commentary), the users would immediately notice it, and not be left with the impression that you are late in posting it.

      ~ You seem to have 2 different topics that are both called Money & Markets… One that is your M&M Audio Commentary, and one that is a different Money & Markets that does not include your M&M Audio Commentary. I think this mislabeling causes additional UI confusion because your M&M Audio Commentary is not listed in this Money & Markets section. Not sure what to suggest here other than adding a link or renaming one of them, but I also understand that this may also be a Subscriber/Non-Subscriber interface oversight. Either way, the current double-labeling seems quite confusing. I think this may be solved by adding a default line each week that says the M&M Audio Commentary is in the subscriber content section.

      ~ I noticed a comment from a subscriber that they could not find an “Ask Catherine” link. After a quick look, I’m not sure where it is either. Why not add a “contact us” to your main header menu with a couple of sub menus for “Ask Catherine” “Show Suggestions” “Customer Service” etc. etc.

      I hope this helps.

      You show is great!

  2. I always look forward to your interviews with Dr. Farrell and the latest one is fascinating as usual. It’s pretty heady stuff to wrap your mind around but the positive interaction and mutual respect between your great minds makes the listening all the more enjoyable…and the learning more accessible. Thank you Catherine.

  4. As usual, I was astounded at Catherine’s incredibly astute view of what is going on in NY state. I left there as a permanent resident 7 years ago and just went to my house in the Adirondacks (for the first time since then) only to see that in that very conservative part of the state, the latest Cuomo has been spending money like a bride at the casino. We have new things everywhere, not that we don’t need some of it (Hurricane Irene devastated a large part of the settled river valleys) but there is a new push to pull in even the most upstate of upstate NY into the Cuomo Fold.

    As much as I try to figure out the gold/silver market (even as a member of Franklin’s newsletter), the correlation between geopolitics, the faux stock market, the value of the dollar, and the value of precious metals has me totally scratching my head. It is always a wonder to listen to the two of you throw out all the possibilities when so many of us expect the impossible: that you would have a lead to what is really going to happen next. I respect the fact that there are so many people who have predicted a spew from the fan whereas Catherine has correctly predicted a slow burn… and her suggestion that a need for emergency supplies in coming months tells me that she believes that we are finally nearing that change point.

    Thanks as always for your incredible tete-a-tete. Most enlightening and enjoyable.

  6. Hi, Catherine – thanks so much for the wonderful work you are doing. I have had to unsubscribe for September for cost reasons, but hope to re-subscribe soon.

    Meanwhile, I was fascinated by this video by engineer Dmitry Orlov:

    Although I am fully persuaded by your prediction of a continued slow burn rather than a financial collapse, I found the rest of what Orlov had to say to be very interesting. In particular he points out how much more prepared the Russians were for financial collapse than the U.S. is presently, largely because they had little faith in their government and instead relied on “black market” or underground economy resources and personal connections. Most of them grew food, for instance. I would love to hear your comments on this.

    Thanks again!

  7. Wow!
    I was impressed by Catherine from years of listening to C2C, but as a recent subscriber I’m now thoroughly impressed!!
    Material and insight is fresh and relevant and astute. Not the usual drivel from MSM.
    And to top it all off I received a hand written note from Catherine thanking me for my subscription.
    This is the type of service that leaves a lasting impression.

    Many thanks.
