LONDON -- Nickel prices climbed to the highest since at least 1987 as stockpiles dwindled, forcing the London Metal Exchange to impose trading restrictions for the first time in a year.
After nickel surpassed $29,000 a metric ton, twice its level at the start of this year, the LME ordered for delivery rules to be suspended because of shortage of the metal. Inventories have plunged 83 percent in the past year.

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
....Do you know what it means
....To miss New Orleans?
Louis Armstrong did, and GATA sure does too. Many of the contacts and friendships that got our organization going were made at the New Orleans Investment Conference, which generously (and courageously) gave us a part to play back when government intervention against the gold market was not as believed and understood as it is now.

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

His commentary explaining why is titled just that -- "Better Than Ever" -- and you can find it at GoldSeek's companion site, SilverSeek, here:
