Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

Barry Riley, columnist for The Financial Times, today

gold and about GATA. While perhaps Riley is not as
agitated about it all as members of GATA are -- we

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

As you'll see from the article below, even The New York
Times took note of gold and the hedging issue today.

Is it time to sell already?

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

Here's a dispatch by GATA Chairman Bill Murphy,
correcting a statement he made yesterday about
Homestake Mining on the basis of an inaccurate
