I am looking forward to being back in Tennessee at Franklin Sanders’ homestead for this week’s precious metals reports. There is certainly a lot to talk about. I will start with Money & Markets. I have a lot more to tell you about what I learned during the last few weeks in Switzerland and Austria. Things look very different on this side of the Atlantic.
Franklin and I will focus on questions on precious metals, so make sure to post your questions here at the blog, send by e-mail or post on the webinar software when we are live. I also want to review with Franklin the steps you can take to be more resilient for 2012.

In Let’s Go to the Movies, I will review the documentary, Water, the Great Mystery. I saw it in Switzerland on the recommendation of a very talented young entrepreneur. The conference had a subtitle of “The Waters of Life.” and included presentations on water projects around the world. The film is fascinating and available online for free.
