Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

The gold price pierced $400 at 7:45 p.m.
Eastern time. As Churchill might say,
it's not the end, nor the beginning of
the end, but perhaps the end of the
beginning. Thanks to all who have
mobilized in the continuing struggle for
free markets and free people.

Spot gold prices rose as high as $399.50 before easing from
that level to trade around $397.40 by midday Tokyo.

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

No doubt many gold and silver partisans were discouraged
today by the pounding of the metals on the New York paper
markets and the corresponding decline in many gold and
silver shares. But they should not be discouraged.

Even six months ago a pounding such as today's would
have kept the gold price down for weeks and the shares

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

Plenty of importance to read today, if you haven't read some
of it already.

* GATA's Ed Steer asks, quot;Is the Washington Agreement a
Fraud?quot; Fraud, Steer writes, in the sense that the agreement
among central banks wasn't meant to rescue the gold price,
as it was presented, but rather to rescue the banks
themselves. You can find Steer's essay here:

5:12p ET Wednesday, November 5, 2003

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

Jim Sinclair has been saying in recent commentaries
that the gold market has become the reciprocal of the

his latest on this subject, quot;Currencies Control Gold
-- COT Becomes Ineffectivequot;:
