Cyber currencies available in gold

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

A member of www.LeMetropole Cafe sent me the
following:

quot;The CEO of Goldcorp is scheduled to be interviewed
on CNBC Monday at lunch time. Rally the troops this
weekend, get them to e-mail CNBC with questions, and
phone in if possible. I have been on the phone this
morning with Agnico Eagle Mines and discussed their
successful secondary equity offering and the company's
anti-hedge policy.quot;

Coincidentally, I had a very pleasant conversation with
the CEO of Goldcorp, Bob McEwen, on Friday. He and
Goldcorp are:

-- Very supportive of GATA.

-- Very appreciative of the consistent efforts we have
made over the last three years.

-- Believers that gold should primarily be marketed
for what it is -- money -- rather than as jewelry.

Bob will be ringing the bell to close the trading on
Monday at the New York Stock Exchange.

Bob Chapman put out the following in his most
recent commentary on this superb gold company.
