The Best of Solari - The 2018 WrapUps

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 you understand the primary trends in our lives and a fun way to build your immunity to fake news and disinformation.

My next Money and Markets commentary will publish on January 3, 2019. Post your questions for me there or sent to Ask Catherine. I will be interviewing Dr. Farrell at the end of the month, so if you have questions or suggestions for our top stories of the year, do the same.

It has been a pleasure working for you this year. On behalf of the entire team we wish you a very merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year
