It was immediately and aptly followed by a brilliant

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

Our excursion to the New Orleans Investment Conference
was a big success and a little emotional.

Not long ago GATA Chairman Bill Murphy was finding
doors barred to him. Now he is being invited as a
speaker to international conferences.

The New Orleans conference was especially important to

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS.MW) -- Another Bank of England
gold auction is in the cards this week, making believers
in the precious metal as rare a find as a Nasdaq bear.

The central bank's auction of 20 tons of the metal Tuesday
is part of a dogged sale program. In the previous auction,
the bank got $280 an ounce, one week after the Sept. 11

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

GATA Chairman Bill Murphy was interviewed live for
about five minutes Saturday morning by the Australian

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

Two of our friends recently raised with me by e-mail an issue
that may be on the minds of others.

The first wrote: quot;Has anyone ever thought that when the media
start saying that the gold market is manipulated to control spot
prices, your average investor would take this as a reason to stay
away from gold? Sometimes one can't even win for winning!quot;

Will exposure of price manipulation actually hurt gold?
