Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

Our friends at the Committee for Monetary Research
and Education Inc., a hard-money-oriented group,
are planning their fall dinner meeting in New York
for either Wednesday, November 6, or Wednesday,
November 20. It is always an interesting time and a
great dinner. While they work out the date, you may
want to contemplate the program, so excerpts from

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

Today's issue of Barron's has a long and
wonderful interview with GATA consultant
James Turk that comes closer than anything
yet to busting through the wall of silence
erected around gold by the mainstream
financial press in the United States.

The text of the Barron's interview is
appended here.

Note particularly Turk's reference to the

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

Here's news we had been disappointed not to
see earlier: Newmont Mining plans to close
its Normandy hedge position by February. And
how interesting that Newmont should announce
this just as an easing of war fears should
knock the gold price down overnight. Could
this timing be a counterblow by Newmont in
support of gold against its enemies? We'd

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

Reuters has just corrected its dispatch that asserted
that Newmont Mining Corp. planned to close its gold
hedges by February. Turns out that the hedge closing
involved is much less than that. The corrective dispatch,
appended here, isn't terribly clear, but there probably
will be more on this later today.

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

The BBC reports (see below) that the Japanese
government is planning to intervene openly
in the country's stock market to prop up prices.

Before Americans snicker too much at this,

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

We made big gains on the publicity front in
Europe this week.

Thanks to two years' worth of beseeching by
our friend Tom Cappuyns, a major newspaper in
Belgium, De Financieel-Economische Tijd -- the
Belgian Financial Times -- published on Thursday
a big report on gold and GATA that concluded
that the gold market is indeed being manipulated.

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

J.P. MorganChase has replied to letters from
GATA questioning the firm's accounting for
its exposure to derivatives. The reply,
signed by John Borden, senior vice president
for investor relations, says that quot;one of
JPMorganChase's goals is to be a leader in
