Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

I thought you'd like to know that GATA Chairman Bill
Murphy is on his way to New Orleans, where he will be a
featured speaker at the Jim Blanchand Investment
Conference, which will focus substantially on gold.

Also among the featured speakers will be Frank Veneroso
of Veneroso Associates, the world's foremost expert on
gold supply and demand.

I expect that we'll be hearing from Bill about the conference
early next week.

Meanwhile, he has posted another quot;Midasquot; commentary
at his financial analysis web site, www.LeMetropoleCafe.com [1],
which you can read by taking a free trial subscription there.

CHRIS POWELL, Secretary
