Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
In his latest public commentary, "Silver Eruption," silver market analyst Ted Butler asks the key question about the monetary metals markets:

Gold too, of course.
Butler's commentary is posted at GoldSeek's companion site, SilverSeek, here:

Of course as GATA has long complained, the major financial news organizations similarly suppress what should be news about intervention against gold by central banks and the commercial banks they use as brokers.
