Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
Mike Hartman's quot;Today's Wrap-upquot; commentary at
Jim Puplava's invaluable Internet site,
www.financialsense.com, links support of stock
prices with the Federal Reserve's lately constant
intervention in the bond market -- something GATA
consultant Mike Bolser has been pointing out for

Here's an excerpt from Hartman's commentary:

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
A longtime supporter of GATA wrote today in near-
despair at the pounding gold took Tuesday. The
manipulation of the gold market and other markets
is so brazen now, he said, but what can we ever do
to stop the bad guys?
All I could answer was that GATA would continue
to do what it has been doing for four years now,
would continue to try to expose the bad guys and
Fed, Treasury manipulate market with leaked information, unregulated derivatives

NEW YORK -- One bullion bank, believed to be Goldman
Sachs, has so far rejected Newmont's 50 cents-on-the-dollar
offer for its stake in the Yandal gold hedge book. Six other
banks have accepted the offer, including, say sources, JP
Morgan, suggesting the offer was fair given the perilous
