The tensions between the United States and Russia are rising, with negotiations in Syria suspended right after the end of the 3rd Quarter. A global economic slowdown contributes to these tensions. Jack Ma, founder of Alibaba, said it best in the 3rd Quar- ter: “Wars start when trade stops.” 6 Uncertainty: The number of future scenar- ios grows daily. Some days anything looks possible. Each of us must make personal decisions and move forward regardless of uncer- tainty. Our 3rd Quarter Wrap Up will be present- ed throughout October in four parts: • News Trends & Stories, Parts I and II. We begin a fascinating discussion with Dr. Joseph P. Farrell, of the top news trends and stories. In the first week in part I, we will look at Economy and Financial Markets and Geopolitics, including a serious discussion of “cut and run” and the growing signs that insiders are pulling significant money and as- sets out of the US government and spinning out and cashing out of major investments and liabilities. The following week in part II, Dr. Farrell and I will cover Science and Technology and The Big Questions. Make sure to check the full listing and links on the News Trends & Stories section. • Financial Market Roundup: In the third week, we will combine a written Blockbuster Chartology from master technician Rambus with my Equity Overview. Make sure to see the charts in our Financial Market Roundup section. • Investment Screening: Can We Filter for Productive Companies? Finally, in the fourth week, we present our central and biggest topic. I look at the investment screening industry and ask whether it is pos- sible to filter for fundamentally productive companies. In August, investors in private prison companies found their stock price down by almost 50% as a result of changes in government policies. Wells Fargo stock is down by 18% this year, in part because of a scandal related to falsification of accounts. As the debt-financed growth model comes to an end, investors in companies that are not primarily productive face a new set of risks. As discussed in our 2nd Quarter Wrap Up, productivity growth is essential to a more peaceful, prosperous global economy. We anticipate an adventurous 4th Quarter at Solari. In October, I will be on the road in Pasadena, Tucson, Austin, a Sunday Brunch with Catherine in Dallas, and a week in Boulder with a quick stop in Denver on my return to Tennessee. Best of all, I will be in Tulsa on October 15th for the Launch Party for the Joseph P. Farrell Pipe Organ Crowdfund. You will be hearing more about that when we launch in November. I am back to Europe in late October for several weeks, and then I head to Montana. Everywhere I go, I have the op- portunity to meet Solari Report subscribers. You are a constant reminder of how many wonderful people are in our world. On behalf of the entire team at the Solari Report, I wish you a free and inspired 2016! —Catherine Austin Fitts Thank you for being a Solari Report subscriber.
