Recently I reiterated to supporters of the Gold Anti-
Trust Action Committee and members of
www.LeMetropoleCafe.com that GATA is building a case
to support our contention that the gold market is
manipulated by certain bullion dealers and the U.S.
Treasury Department's Exchange Stabilization Fund.

Information available in the public arena is bolstering

GATA goes to Congress to get gold market investigated

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

The gold involved in the impending Swiss gold sales
is not likely to reach the market but rather just cover
the major official gold lenders in the euro area against
defaults and clear the way for gold's liberation from the
derivatives markets.

That's the analysis below from Reginald H. Howe of
www.GoldenSextant.com, who once again has plodded

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

In a new essay, Reg Howe of www.GoldenSextant.com has examined the available
data about the U.S. Treasury Department's Exchange Stabilization Fund and has
concluded that it is consistent with a program of capping the price of gold.
Howe's research and understanding of the markets are, once again,
extraordinary. He makes it plain that the friends of gold and free markets

WAKING UP THE BEARS

By BARRY RILEY

April 8, 2000

Even the ringing tone of the telephone seemed unusual:
low-pitched and rasping. I picked it up with a degree
of instinctive fear -- and rightly so, because it turned out
to be a call from Mortimer Duhm, the arch-bear.

Bears are forced into hibernation for long periods;
