Our good friend Arthur Hailey has carried the gold
cause back to his native Canada with the article
written about him in the November 25 issue of
Canadian Business magazine.
You may especially enjoy the abuse Hailey suffers
from Barrick Gold at the end of the article. Rather
than argue with Hailey on the merits of the issues

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
Here's a story with the latest development about the
noted gold bear Martin Armstrong, whose latest problem
seems to be that his girlfriend is giving evidence
against him. I know that Armstrong is someone so many
gold partisans loved to hate, but he hasn't been
convicted of anything yet, and we should remember that
the government that is prosecuting him now is the same

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
Here are a couple of comments from GATA subscribers
that may be of interest.
The first, from Frank, makes a point I've made often in
individual posts at various gold-related bulletin boards. It
bears repeating.

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
You might be interested in this press release today
from Agnico-Eagle Mines Ltd., which stresses that the
company's hedging is entirely a matter of obtaining
downside protection by buying puts while leaving the
company fully exposed to any rise in the price of gold.
No gold price-depressing forward sales here.

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
We owe another debt of gratitude to our good friend
Arthur Hailey, the novelist and longtime advocate of
gold's traditional monetary function, who remarks
favorably about GATA in a big feature story about him
in the current issue of BusinessAge magazine. The
story follows. Please post it as seems useful.

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
While today's article about gold in the Financial Times
calls GATA a quot;fringe group,quot; it pretty much accepts our
premises and predicts success for our campaign against
excessive hedging by gold mining companies. So we'll
take this as a big score for our side.
Please post this as seems useful.

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
Here's something unusual: Mainstream press commentary
in favor of gold. It's from Thom Calandra over last weekend
at www.CBSMarketWatch.com. It seems largely
responsible for the jump in price of shares of Golden Star
Resources (GSR) on Monday and Tuesday.
