Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
Our hero, U.S. Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, last
week delivered to the House of Representatives
what probably was the most relevant speech of

of Canada (CEF on the American Stock Exchange)
says the company is issuing 11.5 million
shares to purchase US$50 million in gold and
silver bullion. This is probably as good for
gold and silver as a mining company's closing

As gold's polar opposite, Nasdaq, gets blasted, bullion
investors expect miners' risky hedge books to further boost
the metal.
