You can know a few things, or you can have technical analysis

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
Some of us grunts in the gold army don't believe in technical analysis. To us it's just a bunch of entrail reading, astrology, and illusion, because the markets themselves now are mainly illusions.
A courageous and principled politician in action

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
U.S. Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, was able to read aloud for the cameras some of his prepared statement at the Feb. 15 meeting of the House Financial Services
Committee
(http://www.house.gov/paul/congrec/congrec2007/cr021507.htm),
which was forwarded to you in a GATA dispatch on Feb. 17. Now someone has posted at YouTube.com the C-SPAN video of Paul's remarks. The committee's sound system fails briefly, and Paul is cut short because of a lack of time, but it's a chance to see a courageous and principled politician in action.

Peter Grandich: Year of the pig and the trip to the slaughterhouse
Submitted by cpowell on Wed, 2007-02-21 11:07 Section: Daily Dispatches11a ET Wednesday, February 21, 2007
Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
Market analyst Peter Grandich's new letter is headlined "The Year of the Pig and the Coming Trip to the Slaughterhouse." It's talking about the precarious position of the U.S. dollar, and it examines the world economic situation generally and a bunch of mining companies particularly. It also urges support for GATA, as Grandich often has done, for which we're deeply grateful. You can find it at GoldSeek here:
