Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
Martin Armstrong of Princeton Economics
International has replied to Professor von Braun's
reply to his essay of June 28.
While I have received some hostile and even violent
reaction to my posting Martin's commentaries because
they disagree in part with the beliefs of many
advocates of gold, I think we benefit immensely from

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
You're sure to be interested in Ted Butler's latest essay
at www.gold-eagle.com.
Butler examines the masssive gold short position of
Barrick Gold on the commodities exchange and describes
how the company has effectively evaded ordinary limits
on hedging. He also describes the inattentiveness of
the Commodities Futures Trading Commission.

I have already quoted Mr. Greenspan, who said that in
1944 Germany could not buy anything except with gold.
In a real crisis, there is no doubt that gold is
important. It is not just my taxi driver who takes that

his floorboards or his straw because the Vietnamese

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
Please pardon the length of this dispatch -- it's in
three parts -- but I think you will find it interesting. It is
the better part of a debate yesterday in the British
House of Commons about the Bank of England's plan
to sell a huge part of its gold reserves.
Two members, Sir Peter Tapsell and Quentin Davis,
conducted the debate for the gold side essentially on

We will have a better diversified portfolio. We will
not be as concentrated in gold as in the past. At the
moment, we are twice as exposed to movements in the
gold price as to movements in the value of the dollar.
Therefore, it is a simple portfolio decision, designed
to reduce the risk borne by the British taxpayer.

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
Here's a special dispatch from GATA Chairman
Bill Murphy to members of his web site,
www.lemetropolecafe.com.
While signs of manipulation of the gold market are
everywhere, I am encouraged by the growing and
increasingly influential opposition to the proposal to
have the International Monetary Fund sell gold
assigned to it by its member nations. It is now generally
