Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

Business School dismissing the impact of derivatives
on the gold market and purporting to quot;refutequot; GATA's
complaint. (If only the big papers remembered their

international conspiracy to suppress the price of gold.
Fans of gold, notably the US-based Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee
(GATA), believe that at least part of the once-precious metal's price
