followed the release of my last article, "A Surprise Silver

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
The Reuters dispatch below seems to be the first news
service story that recognizes the importance of hedging
-- sales of borrowed gold -- in regard to Barrick Gold's
proposal to acquire Placer Dome. But the Reuters story
doesn't quite reach the insight about the proposal that
was offered tonight by GATA Chairman Bill Murphy in his

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

below says has passed the Mexican Senate is not,

silver coin issue is very much alive.

the silver bullion investment fund is started.
