Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

Bloomberg News today devotes much of its home page to an eight-minute video segment by its reporter Henry Baker that apparently was first posted several weeks ago and is ridiculously and arrogantly titled "Everything You Need to Know About Gold," as if such knowledge could be conveyed in eight minutes.

The segment might be more accurately titled "Everything Bloomberg News Wants You to Know About Gold -- and No More."

What's the price of gold?

That seems like a ridiculously easy question to answer. I'm looking at a trading screen right now, and it displays a price of $1,733.80 per ounce.
