“Are we witnessing the end of globalization? I don’t think so. It is the end of the ‘global elite,’ those who see the world only from financial centers or a website.” ~ Jeff Immelt, CEO, General Electric

Franklin Sanders will join me next week for the precious metals market report. Franklin will walk us through what has happened in the gold and silver markets since the election. We will discuss the current correction and how gold and silver prices may be impacted by the Fed decision this coming week as well as by the political changes sweeping through the United States and Europe.
Franklin and I will also address the steps we can take to enforce our US Constitution. These steps include removing legal obstacles to the circulation of gold and silver as money. Enforcing our constitution is what we need most. What do not need is the current effort to call for a constitutional convention that is working its way through the states. Indeed, we need to aggressively lobby our state legislators to stop it.
In Let’s Go to the Movies, I will review Citizen Architect: Samuel Mockabee and the Spirit of the Rural Studio. The documentary tells the story of Samuel “Sambo” Mockabee, the remarkable American architect who co-founded the Auburn University Rural Studio.

I will have plenty to talk about in Money & Markets, so post or e-mail your questions for Ask Catherine.
Talk to you Thursday!
as always, another good one.
You confirmed my decision to get back into the market. Mining stocks, gold and silver, as well as pot stocks, and thank you for talking me out of getting into bitcoin.

Just be prepared for major volatility. I am staying hedged and looking to pull off some or all of the hedges if and when we get a major correction. Make sure you stick with QUALITY – companies that will endure come what may.

Excellent interview with Franklin Sanders. Nice to hear ‘likely’ good news. I understand there are too many unknowns but some very nice possibilities do indeed present themselves. I’m meeting with my State Congresswoman on Monday. I will listen to this again and pull a list of very specific recommendations for her. Dumbing down has been so very effective in recent decades I really think a lot of our legislators just 1) don’t understand what’s going on, 2) know there’s a lot wrong with the current state of affairs and 3) wouldn’t know how to develop pathways towards the financial well being of our communities. Your wish list will be invaluable to her. Thank you and many blessings.
Will keep reviewing and growing this list. Feel free to give a copy of the interview to any of your legislators – transcript should be ready sometime next week.

Wonderful interview – information is great as always. We sure don’t get this information anywhere else..
Thank you for brining Franklin back and his insight on so many topics. I will be listening again, as there is so much information to absorb, couldn’t catch it all in one sitting.
Also, I sincerely appreciate the conversation around Marijuana. My sister is fighting terminal cancer and I thank the Lord that medical marijuana is available for her in Montana. It helps her relax as well as gives her an appetite, which is slowing the weight loss. Big Pharma can’t compete……
I agree there needs to be a serious conversation with our Congressmen and Senators to insure our Constitution is preserved. I think they all need to here this.

Catherine. Information is lacking on the safety, type, and quality of recreational marijuana products readily available in the open market in states where recreational marijuana use is legal. Marijuana for medical use is much more regulated and not a focus of my comments. What is troubling is that the recreational marijuana continues to increase in potency, the THC content (see attached article). Many are concerns about the effects of THC on adolescent brains, among other health and safety issues.There aren’t near enough studies, or available information publicly on what this means to the general public, regarding issues of safety, health, and quality. For example, we have breathalyzer tests for alcohol content, and strict laws governing impairment and driving. No such test exists for recreational marijuana. The RAND institute is conducting a longitudinal study of the impact of recreational marijuana availability in Colorado communities. The financial sector does report some on new marijuana growing technology aimed at increasing potency but we hear very little about the health impact of these changes on human health. This should raise Yellow and even Red flags as recreational marijuana laws are about to hit the majority of states. Health freedom advocates should be paying attention to what we know about the drug potency of the plants being sold and impact on health.

I believe that Marijuana for recreational uses is a bad idea – however, I believe we should police this ourselves, same as sugar, alcohol or other physical and emotionally addictive substances. My anecdotal impression is it is a much more effective pain killer that many pharmecuticals and more economic. Juicing seems to be an entirely different process – not producing highs, but very cleansing.
I always hated the impact of marijuana and hashish on my mind and body. I think I was the only person who spent 3 weeks in Afghanistan and smoked nothing but a Dunhill cigarette.

Please feel free to share this or any other Solari Report info with state and local legislators. The interview with Edwin Vieira on why a Con-Con is a dreadful idea is particularly good.
