Ronan Manly: Shrinking the pool of trade-ready gold at the Comex

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

Is the exchange starting to worry about defaults? Of course if it was, the exchange would never admit it. But if any real investors still trade gold on the exchange, they might want to review the situation.
