Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

Here's the CBSMarketWatch.com report about the
Nader-sponsored conference on the Federal Reserve
held at the Washington Press Club today. If you
caught the proceedings on C-SPAN2, you might have
seen GATA Chairman Bill Murphy, who was shown
asking a question of the Washington editor of
Barron's, Jim McTague. Another delightful moment

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

Ralph Nader's latest newspaper column, appended
here, describes the conference he has called for
Monday in Washington about the work of the Federal
Reserve. GATA Chairman Bill Murphy will attend and
call attention to the Fed's role in surreptitiously
suppressing the gold price.

JOHANNESBURG, Jan. 3 -- If AngloGold Ltd. is
pipped at the post by Newmont Mining Corp in
its bid for control of Australia's Normandy
Mining Co., it will face a dwindling range of
growth strategies. U.S.-based-Newmont has
raised its bid for Normandy to A$1.93 a share
-- valuing the company at A$4.3 billion --
and eclipsing AngloGold's A$4.1 billion offer

JOHANNESBURG, Jan 4 (Reuters) -- AngloGold Chairman
and CEO Bobby Godsell said on Friday his company's
offer for Australia's Normandy Mining was final and it was
now up to Normandy's shareholders to decide.

However, Godsell told Reuters in an interview that he was
encouraged by the narrowing gap between AngloGold's
offer and a richer bid from U.S. rival Newmont Mining Corp.
