Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

Buying shares of the gold exchange-traded fund sponsored by the World Gold Council isn't quite buying gold itself, GoldMoney founder James Turk writes in an essay adapted from the latest issue of his Freemarket Gold & Money Report (www.fgmr.com). Turk's essay is titled "The Paper Game" and you can find it at Jim and Mary Puplava's Financial Sense site here:
