LONDON (FTMW) -- Is there no hope for gold? The
investment has performed so poorly for so long, even
literary New Yorker magazine felt it deserving of a
derisive article.

This latest piece of advice comes from Irwin
Kellner, former chief economist for several New York
City banks. Kellner tells me from his Long Island
office at Hofstra University, quot;As long as the Fed

I blame some of it on myself. But I blame the rest of
it on the government. Inflation has arrived, but no one
will admit it.

Even as we continue to read data that indicates the
economy is slowing, the I-word goes officially
unuttered, and the Fed withholds its option to raise
interest rates. Commander Alan Greenspan placates a

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

compelled to answer them.

Friends of GATA in the United States can help us by

Dotting sides of buildings in Paris are many little
plaques proclaiming, quot;Ici est tombe....quot; They mark spots
where members of the Resistance fell during the street
fighting that preceded the liberation of Paris in
August 1944. Close inspection of nearby wall areas

South Africa's AngloGold is being tipped as the most
likely suitor for Normandy Mining, the Australian gold
miner that has recently seen its share price strike a
five-month high on takeover speculation.

Despite suggestions that AngloGold is not so hot on
Normandy and a recent fallback in Normandy's price,

quot;Ah! tenez, vous etes de la merde dans un bas de soie.quot;

With this much quoted insult Napoleon concluded his
famous tirade against Talleyrand in 1809, an outburst
of anger that most expected would end with the grand
chamberlain hanging from a gate of the Tuileries.
Instead, he was merely dismissed. Talleyrand himself
