This coming week we will publish the quarterly written Blockbuster Chartology from Rambus, including a powerful in-depth review across precious metals and equity markets.

For our audio interview, I will solo to review insights from Rambus as well as our 2^nd Quarter Wrap Up Financial Roundup. You can link to the Financial Roundup now in the web presentation for the 2^nd Quarter Wrap Up linked from your Subscriber Resource Page or the last two Solari Report commentaries where we covered the News Trends & Stories, Part I and Part II with Dr. Farrell. A link to the Blockbuster Chartology will be posted on Thursday in your subscriber links.

Gold, silver, and mining stocks have had a gangbuster rise in the first two quarters of 2016. Now the US equity markets are hitting record highs. Is the long-term bull market in precious metals finally reasserting itself? Does the US equity bull market have more room to rise? Will government and central bank interventions assure that prices continue to rise, or will slowing productivity growth, lower corporate earnings, and a slowing global economy ultimately ground prices down below current levels? The possible scenarios underscore that investors should be prepared for “volatility in possibilities.” This includes risks to the outlook and stability of the Euro and the US Dollar.

Posting from Lake Constance in southern Germany, I will address current events in Money & Markets. Please make sure to e-mail or post your questions for Ask Catherine. And thanks again for the great recommendations and links!
