Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

You'll enjoy this story from Reuters from a few days
ago, wherein Prudential Bache's Ted Arnold acknowledges
the possibility of an imminent new rise in the gold
price even as he tries to persuade himself that it

Harvard-trained lawyer, financial analyst, former
mining company manager, and good friend to GATA,
just posted at his web site, www.goldensextant.com.

It examines the hedging catastrophe at Cambior and
speculates on a way out of it -- a way that closely

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

The gold defaults have spread from Karachi to
Ghana and Canada, what with the collapse in

12:35a EDT Friday, October 8, 1999

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

This Reuters story is interesting for its quoting the
Wall Street Journal's identification of Ashanti Gold's
creditors, who are now holding a very heavy bag of
debt. First on the list is Goldman Sachs.
