Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
John Hathaway of the Tocqueville Gold Fund has followed
Reginald H. Howe of www.GoldenSextant.com in analyzing
the huge gold liabilities recently undertaken by J.P.
Morgan amp; Co. Hathaway concludes that bullion dealers
are completely unprepared for the looming reversal in
the gold market.

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
On Wednesday the GATA delegation to Washington met
with high officials of Congress and their staffs to present
evidence that the price of gold is being manipulated and
that gold loans have reached levels that threaten the U.S.
and world banking systems. We presented GATA's new
report, quot;Gold Derivative Banking Crisis,quot; and asked that
Congress gets interested in gold manipulation

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
The Battle of Washington is about to commence.
A little more than a year ago the Gold Anti-Trust
Action Committee developed a strategy to win the day
against the manipulators of the gold market. Our
strategy was based on the quot;enveloping hornquot; tactic of
the great South African Zulu chieftain, Shaka.
That strategy is working for us as it worked for him.

LIMA, Peru, May 4 (Reuters) -- Canada's Barrick Gold
Corp. is betting on strong future gold prices in 2000
as world demand for the precious metal improves about
20 percent over 1999, the head of its Peruvian unit
said Thursday.
Driven by increased Asian demand and renewed interest
by investors in gold as an alternative to inflation-
threatened currencies, prices are set to shine, said
XAU way up but Barrick is down

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
A delegation from the Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee

the gold market. In addition, we have an appointment with

and key committee staff members. The document GATA
has prepared, titled quot;The Gold Banking Derivative Crisis,quot;

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
A few minutes ago the XAU was up 4.6 percent and
Barrick Gold, ABX, the hedge fund that masquerades
as a gold miner, was running from even to DOWN a
third of a percent. Some would call this irrational, but
not us at GATA. And if the markets are going to be
irrational, they might as well be irrational on our side
once in a while. In any case gold is getting attention
Barrick chief expects 20 percent rise in gold price

The $2 rule again. Gold spiked early today, running up

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
I don't know exactly what's going on with the index
of major gold mining shares on U.S. exchanges, the
XAU, which rose nearly 10 percent today even as
Switzerland was confirming its plans to sell gold,
but the observations of a few others elsewhere may
bear repeating in one place:

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
Reg Howe of www.GoldenSextant.com has analyzed the gold
derivative position of Morgan Guaranty Trust Co. and
concludes that the firm has taken on so much exposure
as to suggest that it has done so with government
encouragement. Howe's essay follows but the columns in
the chart it contains may not line up properly in email
or on the GATA web site. If they don't, you can view
