Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

You may be interested in TheMiningWeb.com's interview
with Rob Edwards, an analyst with HSBC, wherein it seems

someone is going to start calling Edwards a nut. Here's the
relevant excerpt:

The agony for all Americans is overwhelming. For that
matter, it has to be agonizing for the entire world --
excluding the subhumans who carried out the plane
bombing monstrosities.

Even to comment about markets seems so trivial, but as
President Bush remarked today in his radio address to

Gold Fingered?
Gold has lost its glitter. Is there a conspiracy afoot?

September 13, 2001

Long considered the ultimate hard asset, gold normally
shines at times of financial turmoil. This week, if
any, should therefore have been gold's time to take up
its traditional role as asset of last resort. But its
performance was less than glittering (see chart).

Could it be that its days as a safe haven are over? Or

and filled with excitement/expectations of correcting
the terrible wrong that the GATA camp had uncovered

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

It's probably time to make contact with you after this
