5:30a PT Friday, January 24, 2003

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

What's appended here seems awfully unusual -- an
open invitation to an imminent short squeeze in the

It would be a shame to miss such a party.

3:12p ET Tuesday, January 21, 2003

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

GATA doesn't necessarily think much of the essay
from Canada's National Post that is appended here,
but at least it shows that gold is becoming a
mainstream issue.

The essay's author wonders whether Fed Chairman
