"U.S. dollar reserve holdings have dropped close to $1 trillion in the last eight or nine months, and that’s on a global scale. What happens when reserves drop means that foreigners have been selling U.S. government securities. They are abandoning the dollar, and if foreigners are abandoning the dollar, the question is who’s buying them? The answer to who is buying the reserves is the U.S. Treasury itself. Specifically, it is the Exchange Stabilization Fund (ESF) within the U.S. Treasury.”
Each year as we come into the last two weeks of December, we celebrate the very best of the Solari Report. Our content builds towards our 2018 Annual Wrap Up that will publish in January 2019. We want to make sure you digest the very best of 2018 before we present our strategic thinking for the year ahead.
Next week we publish links to all three Quarterly Wrap Ups the 2017Annual Wrap Up published in January 2018. The following week, we publish four favorites from our weekly Solari Report interviews and Special Solari Reports.
The themes for our Wrap Ups this year covered four powerful primary trends impacting our lives today. They are constructed like intelligence briefings – designed to provide insight that you need to make intelligent decisions. Whether in your home, for your family, at work or contributing in your community, you need reliable maps to anticipate your long-term opportunities and navigate risk.
In January 2018, our Annual Wrap Up asked the question Does Your Pension Fund Have a Deep State Problem? We confronted the powerful lies being told about our pension funds and the dangerous intersection between our retirement savings and a deep state operating outside the law.
In April 2018, in our 1st Quarter Wrap Up we asked Whos Who and Whats Up in the Space Based Economy? Our goal was to ensure you have a powerful overview as the role of space emerges as driving geopolitical force, one that increasingly involves global stock and bond markets. Given the significant growth of investment in this area, equity investors should pay attention. To help you do so our web presentation included tables of publically traded companies active in space.
In July, in our 2nd Quarter Wrap Up, we looked at The Rise of the Asian Consumer. We discovered that many of our subscribers in North America and Europe had not yet integrated the impact of the rebalancing of the US-China relationship into their strategic thinking. What a rich discussion this Wrap Up inspired.
In October 2018, in our 3rd Quarter Wrap Up, we addressed Megacities and the Growth of Global Real estate Companies. Rapid urbanization is an integral part of the rise of the Asian consumer. As urbanization grows, global real estate and the securities markets continue to converge. We recommend that equity investors pay attention. To help you do that we published tables of publically traded real estate companies and REITS in the web presentation to help you get started.
Each Wrap Up includes a dedicated web presentation also converted into a PDF and flip book when the publication process is completed. The material is presented over a four-week period – each with an audio discussion in addition to the web presentation.
The Solari Report Wrap Ups for 2018 are an excellent way for yo

This week is the 2019 Annual Wrap Up Equity Overview with the quarterly blockbuster from Rambus Chartology. Check out the web presentation here for the quarterly financial charts and Rambus Chartology when posted on Thursday.
The U.S. equity market continues to outperform global equity markets. Here is a comparison of the NASDAQ and S&P with European and Chinese equity ETFs since 2009.
The Trump administration considers the U.S. stock market an essential performance indicator. The administration’s target appears to be a Dow above 30,000. Given the monetary and fiscal largesse underway in the Trump Administration and a US presidential election year, politics argues for rising corporate profits and a continued climb in the equity markets.
This quarter, I will focus on the storm clouds gathering across the globe as the failure of the unipolar model and the transition to a multipolar model raise profound questions regarding the preservation and performance of global financial markets – whether currency, stocks or bonds. Do financial markets still offer opportunities to retail investors? Or have them become simply a way to channel monetary inflation into ever larger bubbles that are causing devastating non-economic allocations of capital?
We will look at how the “Climate Change Op” fits in – and whether a new raid on the pension funds is underway.

I had the most remarkable conversation with a Solari Report subscriber joining me on the road to Uluru. He said that what would take us through this period of change was divine enlightenment and inspiration. The reason to embrace the U.S. Constitution and the period of enlightenment that inspired it was that we needed to draw on our legacy of divine enlightenment, that we and our ancestors had received to date. We should inherit the divine inspiration of generations.
To continue our discussions regarding the U.S. Constitution, I asked Dr. Edwin Vieira to join me to discuss his book The Sword and Sovereignty regarding the militias. Dr Vieira is one of the finest Constitutional scholars of our time. If you have not heard his Solari Report on why it is essential to enforce the US Constitution, I highly recommend it.

This coming week, Dr. Vieira and I discuss what the militias operating at the time of drafting of the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights and why such organizations have the potential to contribute to a self governing people.
Understanding the history of the militia teaches us about both our inheritance - the divine intelligence and practical values that support the rule of law in America.
