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

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
