Mike Kosares: Golden solution or golden folly?

Section: Daily Dispatches

9:55p ET Saturday, October 20, 2012

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

Mike Kosares of Centennial Precious Metals in Denver today heaps skepticism on the idea of using European central bank gold as some sort of collateral for government bonds. The gold is probably gone or otherwise hypothecated into oblivion already, Kosares notes. His commentary is headlined "Golden Solution or Golden Folly?" and it's posted at Centennial's Internet site, USAGold, here:

World opinion is changing in favor of gold.

How can you learn why and what it will mean to you?

Read the newly updated and expanded edition of Lehrman's book, "The True Gold Standard."

Financial journalist James Grant says of "The True Gold Standard": "If you have ever wondered how the world can get from here to there -- from the chaos of depreciating paper to a convertible currency worthy of our children and our grandchildren -- wonder no more. The answer, brilliantly expounded, is between these covers. America has long needed a modern Alexander Hamilton. In Lewis E. Lehrman she has finally found him."
