Dear Friend of GATA and Gold (and Silver):

Interviewed today by King World News, GoldMoney founder and GATA consultant James Turk notes that despite the doom and gloom hanging over the monetary metals sector, gold and silver are still slowly winning their battle against central bank and government intervention in the markets.

"Gold has now risen 12 years in a row at an average annual rate of 16.8 percent," Turk says. "That is a spectacular achievement for gold. But silver has done even better, rising 20.1 percent on average over the last 12 years.

"... The U.S. Mint stopped selling silver eagles. There are only two ways to explain it and both are bullish. Either they don't have any physical silver, or they don't want to sell what they do have at such a low price. Either case is extremely bullish for silver.

"So while the central planners may win the occasional battle or two, like the one being waged over the past couple of months, they are clearly losing the war. And we can expect more of the same in 2013. Gold and silver will climb higher, but the central planners with their interventions will continue to fight the free market."

Read the newly updated and expanded edition of Lehrman's book, "The True Gold Standard."

Financial journalist James Grant says of "The True Gold Standard": "If you have ever wondered how the world can get from here to there -- from the chaos of depreciating paper to a convertible currency worthy of our children and our grandchildren -- wonder no more. The answer, brilliantly expounded, is between these covers. America has long needed a modern Alexander Hamilton. In Lewis E. Lehrman she has finally found him."
