Section: Daily Dispatches

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

The new annual "In Gold We Trust" report from financial house Incrementum's Ronald-Peter Stoferle and Mark J. Valek has been published, containing a zillion reasons why gold should be going way up in price but not much if anything about why it hasn't gotten there. For that information you're probably still stuck with GATA. (As the White Queen told Alice: "Jam tomorrow and jam yesterday, but never jam today.")

John Adams of As Good As Gold Australia writes that silver market manipulation goes beyond the futures markets to corrupt the physical market, where supply also is exaggerated by enterprises that sell claims to metal they don't actually possess.

Exposing this physical market manipulation, Adams writes, is crucial to establishing a free-market price for silver. 

Adams' analysis is headlined "Conquering Silver Market Manipulation" and it's posted at his internet site, Adams Economics, here:
