GATA's London conference draws nearly 400 from 38 countries
12:06p BST Sunday, August 7, 2011
Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
Nearly 400 people from 38 countries attended GATA's Gold Rush 2011 conference at the Savoy Hotel in London this week, and it seems to have been a great success, for which we must thank our speakers -- most of the best minds in the gold world -- and our corporate and individual sponsors.
The greatest sensation was caused by gold trader and mining entrepreneur Jim Sinclair, proprietor of JSMineSet.com, who made his first conference appearance in eight years. His audience simply couldn't get enough of him, peppering him with questions during his formal presentation and then surrounding him afterward. Sinclair is shown answering questions here:

GATA expressed special thanks to the conference's two largest sponsors, Sprott Asset Management CEO Eric Sprott and Houston, Texas, fund manager Sasan Sadegpour, by presenting them with framed copies of documents signifying GATA's victory this year over the Federal Reserve in our freedom-of-information lawsuit. The documents include the Fed's letter to GATA's lawyers conveying a check to GATA for $2,870 in attorney's fees, the check itself, and a statement signed by GATA board members Bill Murphy, Ed Steer, Adrian Douglas, and your secretary/treasurer reading: "Don't fight the Fed? Who says? Not us!" A photograph of the presentation, with Sprott on the left, Sadegpour on the right, and your secretary/treasurer at the podium, has been posted here:

There was much interest at the conference in comments made by geopolitical analyst James G. Rickards about the possibility of something approaching martial law being declared in the United States and confiscation by the U.S. government of gold and silver. Rickards' comments confirmed GATA's correspondence with the U.S. Treasury Department in 2005 about invocation of the Trading with the Enemy Act of 1917 and the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977. That correspondence can be found here:
Thanks to the generous assistance of the GoldMoney Foundation, the conference was videotaped and GATA plans to put the presentations on DVD for sale in a few weeks. We'll keep you posted about that.
