Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

In commentary posted today, Jim Willie, editor of the Hat Trick Letter, elaborates on a point made a month ago by Market Force Analysis letter editor Adrian Douglas, a member of GATA's Board of Directors: that China easily could hedge its dollar exposure by using its U.S. Treasury bonds as collateral for purchases of hard assets. Douglas' observation was made May 17 in his essay "Have China Watchers Never Heard of a Decoy?":
