Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
The attached press release was issued by the World Gold
Council this week to promote gold ownership. While it
at least acknowledges gold as a financial asset --
something approaching money -- and doesn't prattle
about jewelery, there's not a word about the huge short
position in gold or the explosion in the U.S. money
supply and gold derivatives at bullion banks or
Anglo said hot for Gold Fields; Bank of England choking?

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
You may enjoy this Reuters story about the rising
gold lease rates. This story makes it seem that
perpetual gold bear Andy Smith is whistling past
