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
wouldn't mean anything and that the price would drop
right back down. Of course I'm biased, but it sounds to
me like whistling past the graveyard, wherein a few new

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
Here's another brilliant essay by Reginald H. Howe,
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
resembles GATA's raison d'etre (if we all can parlez

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
The gold defaults have spread from Karachi to
Ghana and Canada, what with the collapse in
the last two days of a major gold producer,
Ashanti, and a medium producer, Cambior.
In a new dispatch tonight at his web site,

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
Here's another crucial essay by John Hathaway of
Tocqueville Asset Management, who, like GATA
Chairman Bill Murphy, has called the gold market

forecast the collapse of the gold carry trade, and
his alert, on the Friday before the gold market

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
GATA Chairman Bill Murphy sent these comments

It's a reminder that GATA's forecasts from the spring

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.
