Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

Two of our friends recently raised with me by e-mail an issue
that may be on the minds of others.

The first wrote: "Has anyone ever thought that when the media
start saying that the gold market is manipulated to control spot

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

Please excuse the erroneous transmission to you
earlier today of my newspaper column in Connecticut,
