From Bob Prange: THE GOLD QUESTION

BILL MURPHY "Verrry GOOOD" ON TELEVISION FOR GATA

The Moderator Reports:
Sitting here in Sweden, I was not able to see the CNBC TV interview with gata
chairperson Bill Murphy in the U.S. yesterday. I have got the message though
that he came across just right for GATA. Seventy million people saw/heard Bill,
our David, show himself quite ready for the coming contest with Wall Street's
golliath--

"Verrry GOOOD!" came in from Ray de Moss.
" That was FIRST CLASS! You made an A+ and represented our interest real well.
Thanks."

"Congratulations on taking them on, Bill," was the general consensus.

"It's not easy to take on the "talking heads" of CNBC, but the point is that you
started the ball rolling! It was good to see and hear you. It is obvious (as it
is in your internet posts) that you are a decent and trustworthy person. I'd
like to pledge $100 for GATA,"
wrote Christopher Hudson (Dawson at www.lemetropolecafe.com).

And from Robert Dirks, "Absolutely Brilliant, Bill! "I don't care what the CNBC
talking heads say, it takes balls to do what you're doing. GOD Bless you .Go
GATA, Go GOLD"

THIS IS WHAT BILL HIMSELF WROTE ABOUT THE TV INTERVIEW

"Thank you for your supportive feedback on my appearanceon CNBC. There is no
doubt in my mind that we will mobilize the gold world to expose the fact that
the gold market has been manipulated to serve the interest of the NY financial
institutions. We will expose to the world that we believe that gold borrowing,
spec predators may be short a total of 3,000 tonnes of gold ( yearly mine supply
is 2529 tonnes ). They know they cannot get out with a gold buying panic. Wewill
try and force one.

"In that regard, the Comex Trader Report came out late yesterday in support of
our position that the cash gold market is on fire and it is the speculators
holding it down. We ought to see some fireworks next week. Both gold and silver
should ROAR!!! We will havethe shorts on the run before they know what is
happening."

PRACTICALITIES
from the moderator

We are inundated with short and long messages of congratulation and determined
support for GATA. And the pledges for an eventual GATA Gold Anti Trust Action
continue to roll in, too. It's great; exciting; and wicked on the body at three,
four in the morning. So if there is an occasional slip up, forgive us, please,
and just resubmit.

Here are some points worth noting:

#If I get messages of support and pledges for the GATA lawsuit fund from you via
gata@egroups.com, I will know that you don't mind me including the message and
your name in my regular update.

#On the other hand, if the message comes to me direct, to
monetarystudies@hotmail.com, I will be discrete and email you first for your
permission to use material I might want to post. Agreed?

#New members are coming into the GATA egroup by the hour.
A warm welcome to first timers. The GO GATA campaign is just one week old.
To get up to date is not difficult, therefore. To read the first postings, go to
the easy-to-locate archive at www.egroups.com . There you will find:
