Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

I'm sharing with you below the daily market commentary of Michael
Kosares, proprietor of www.USAGold.com, which I'm sure many of you
read as religiously as I do but which may be new to some of you. It
is a brilliant and comprehensive look at the gold market situation.

Please post this as seems useful.

Right off the bat today J.P. Morgan came out selling
gold down. I remarked to an associate to look out for
trouble in the stock market. It is starting to appear

I had not intended to put this out today but I am so
ticked off that I decided a change in the game plan was
in order.

truth and the Internet.

So I plan to use the Internet to get our side of the
story out to combat the stifling tactics of certain

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

Reginald H. Howe of www.GoldenSextant.com has done it
again.

The other day he disclosed that J.P. Morgan and Co.'s
volume of gold derivatives had exploded recently. Now he
is disclosing the same situation with Deutsche Bank.

This means that the primary agents in capping the gold
price have been identified.

GATA will be pursuing this.

of the company's hedging strategy on May 16, a forward-selling gold program

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

You may enjoy this commentary from Bill Buckler's

Buckler asks whether GATA last week told Congress
that it should give up on the dollar and return the United
States to a gold standard. We didn't. We think the
dollar has its place as much as gold does. But we
