The Solari Report – 12 Feb 2009
This is the second week of the month. That means I am headed over to Westpoint, Tennessee on Thursday, February 12, to join Franklin Sanders and his family for dinner at the Sanders homestead down the road from their Top of the World Farm.
(Sheep and shepherd at the 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.
In addition to our comments on current market events and response to subscriber questions, we will also answer the most frequently asked questions that Franklin and his team at the Moneychanger get about buying gold and silver coins. This includes his Ten Commandments of Gold and Silver Buying
If you are a subscriber to The Solari Report, you can post your questions at your private panel or feel free to also post them at this blog post. If you would like to learn more about The Solari Report and subscribe, click here.
I look forward to speaking with you. Doing The Solari Report “in cahoots” with you is what I love!
PermaculturePrana, clicking on the link to your chart gives me a page which tells me “unable to find data for GOLD:SILVER”. Do I need to be a member?
Thanks, PermaculturePrana. Another question: how do I know if the increase in the price of gold in, say, dollars is due to an increase in the value of gold or to a decrease in the dollar value, and does it matter (meaning, is it important to know)?
Hi Catherine,
I had a couple of questions for the upcoming session tomorrow with Franklin Sanders.
1) Is there enough gold and silver to provide a monetary system for our planet of 6.5 billion people. Those in favor a paper system seem to argue that there is NOT enough hence why we need a paper based currency system… we can add more easily based… Read More on need.
2) How do we respond to our Environmental friends who have objections to investing in gold and silver because of the impact that mining has on the environment.
Thanks much.
Looking forward to tomorrow.
cheers,
hans
i spoke to franklin about two weeks ago, and he is still a believer in swapping gold for silver. though the ratio of gold to silver was about 74 at that time and has fallen (i.e. silver has fgotten and continues to get stronger). Now it’s down to about 68. here’s a chart i made online: http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=$GOLD:$SILVER&p=D&b=2&g=0&id=9
Franklin has mentioned watching the gold/silver ratio and when to buy silver with gold and vice-versa. Would he recommend buying silver with gold now, with silver gaining on gold? Is Franklin buying silver with gold?
I was wondering if you have any thoughts about Kitco and the various ways to invest in their precious metals products through their online store?
Questions for Franklin….I was reading about holding coin as opposed to GLD…
http://www.goldmoney.com is audited but do they audit the paper on the gold they hold or the actual gold? Do you hold gold for people? Inside and outside the country?
I never hear much about selling gold…a small window before it gets confiscated?? If states secede or America gets broken up into FEMA regions, what effect will it have on our money, gold etc. Thank you.
