Bloomberg gold traders survey is notable for details, not their predictions
5:45p ET Sunday, October 3, 2004
Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
The agenda for the fall dinner meeting of the Committee
for Monetary Research and Education has just been
distributed, and it is hard to imagine a program more
relevant to the financial circumstances of the United
States -- that is, our national bankruptcy. The meeting
also will emphasize where gold, silver, and exchange
rate manipulations fit in.
The meeting will be held on the evening of Thursday,
October 28, at the Union League Club, 38 East 37th
St., New York, beginning with cocktails at 5 and the
first speakers at 5:30. Admission will be $130 for
CMRE members and $145 for others. A summary of the
agenda is appended, along with reservations
information.
Please check it out. This is a generally pro-gold
group, the talk is insightful, the food is great,
and some GATA folks are, as always, planning to
attend.

Annual Fall Dinner Meeting
Thursday, October 28, 2004
The Union League Club
38 East 37th Street, New York City
Reckoning the Nation's Budgets and Markets
Deficits and "Buying More Than All"
Cocktails, 5 p.m.
Session I, 5:30-6:45 p.m.
--- Gerald J. Swanson, Thomas R. Brown Chair in
Economic Education, Eller College of Management,
University of Arizona, Tucson, and author of "America
the Broke."
Allan Greenspan speaks of "troubling" deficits, the
need for "stark choices" and "no complacency."
Swanson issues a call to arms: No more business as
usual in the nation's capital and nothing less than a
new culture of fiscal responsibility. He outlines what
must be done before it is too late.
--- Walker F. Todd, lawyer and central banker,
provides the background of fiscal problems, particularly
the bankruptcies of the United States in1971 and 1979
and the attempts to restore responsibility.
-- Chairman: Howard Segermark of The Segermark Co.,
Washington, D.C., a lobbyist and former congressional
staff member.
Dinner, 7 p.m.
Session II, 8-9 p.m.
The Markets - Then, Now, and Coming
-- Bob Hoye, Institutional Advisors, Vancouver, B.C.
An historian as well as investment adviser, Hoye brings
insight and sources explaining how economic bubbles
and contractions have occurred throughout history. He
especially enjoys John Houghton's "The Great Mystery
of Buying More than All." Hoye offers forecasting models
on equities, the economy, commodities, credit markets,
gold, and silver. He writes, "Financial history is a due
diligence on central banking," and asks: "What have
almost a hundred years of interest rate and foreign
exchange manipulations accomplished?"
--- Michael T. Darda, chief economist and director of
international research, MKM Partners, Greenwich,
Conn. Darda also served at Polyconomics in Morristown,
N.J. He is familiar with arguments in favor of the gold
standard and currency boards. He is frequently published
in major financial media and interviewed on television.
-- Chairman: Richard L. Hanley, general partner,
Hambletonian Partners, L.P., New York.
Session III, 9-10 p.m.
The Dollar and Defense
--- J. William Middendorf II, chairman of CMRE and former
ambassador and secretary of the Navy, reports on the
annual monetary conference held by Robert Mundell in
Tuscany, Italy. Having met with world financial leaders,
Middendorf is aware of how they regard the dollar and
what plans are on the horizon for currency changes.
--- Leonard Liggio, executive vice president of the Atlas
Foundation and president of the Mont Pelerin Society.
Liggio builds on the warnings about the weakening of the
U.S. economy and how it relates to international relations.
Liggio's conclusion: Economic health is the first line of
U.S. defense.
-- Chairman: William S. Easman Jr. of Little Compton,
Rhode Island, investment adviser.
