Pay attention!
Someone -- and I don't know who -- wants us all to know that since July Henry Paulson, the new secretary of the U.S. Treasury, has spent a lot of time on a little known Washington operation called the President's Working Group on Financial Markets.

The slow agony of American defeat in Vietnam was intertwined with almost all the economic ills of the 1970s, the decade when capitalism veered off the rails and stock markets slumped.

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
Investment manager Jeffrey Saut of Raymond James & Associates, who went on Canada's ROB-TV on Oct. 3 to complain about the rewriting of the Goldman Sachs Commodity Index and the plunge it triggered in commodity prices (see http://www.gata.org/node/4431), has more suspicions about market manipulation. He expresses them in his new commentary, "An Eerie Stillness," appended here.
Ted Butler: The real gold/silver ratio, Part 2

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
Silver market analyst Ted Butler is the master of metal valuations, and in his latest essay, "The Real Gold/Silver Ratio, Part 2," he concludes that silver has never been scarcer and less owned in the last century than it is today. He argues that if the amount of silver owned per capita had grown to the same extent that gold ownership per capita has grown since 1900, silver's price today would be $175 per ounce.

A trendy alternative to legal tender, the Liberty Dollar, could now land coin-aisseurs in prison for up to five years, according to federal prosecutors.
"Although we haven't had any of these types of cases in Montana yet, the statute says using one of these coins as legitimate money could be a crime," said Kurt Alme, assistant U.S. attorney for Montana. "It looks like if you make or attempt to pass a coin of gold or silver as current money it's a crime."

It's accepted wisdom that the United States, despite recent problems, is still the strongest growth locomotive for the world economy, the pillar of the global system. What if we were to discover that, instead of being the pillar, that the United States was, in fact, the heart of a dysfunctional economic system, which is spreading instability, unemployment, and depression globally?

The losses of the troubled Amaranth and Vega hedge funds have led to predictable calls for more hedge fund regulation. So too will the decision by Philippe Jabre, heavily fined by the Financial Services Authority, to set up a hedge fund in Geneva.

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
Our friend R.P. writes:
"I love you guys and all but sometimes it seems as if you are only negative about world operations. Sorry, but I am in a good mood until I read most of your dispatches. I am a believer in the gold price suppression conspiracy but I believe more in peace of mind. Good luck and please put some positive dispatches in the loop."
