The Hulbert Gold Newsletter Sentiment Index, which represents the average gold market exposure among a subset of short-term gold-timing newsletters, stood at a reading of minus 25% on Wednesday night. That's not far off the all-time low, and it's a dramatic change from the stubborn bullishness that gold-timers displayed when the current downleg began, in September.
In defense of the Liberty Dollar
Submitted by cpowell on Tue, 2006-10-10 20:54 Section: Daily Dispatches8:50p ET Tuesday, October 10, 2006
Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
Bernard von NotHaus, one of the founders of the independent Liberty Dollar silver currency in the United States, has written an essay protesting the recent attempt of the U.S. Mint to portray the Liberty Dollar as a form of counterfeiting after eight years of U.S. government statements acknowledging that the Liberty Dollar was simply a legal private means of exchange. NotHaus' essay is titled "Get the Liberty Dollar ... Unjustly Defamed by the U.S. Mint?," and you can find it at FreeMarket News here:

And Butler reports on his notification of the Chicago Board of Trade that the concentration of silver shorts on the New York Mercantile Exchange's Comex division has wormed itself into the CBOT as well.

Submitted by cpowell on Fri, 2006-10-06 11:59 Section: Daily Dispatches11:50a ET Friday, October 6, 2006
Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
The address of Sprott Asset Management's chief investment strategist, John Embry, at the Silver Summit in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, on Sept. 22 examined what he sees as the tremendous prospects for silver, the manipulation of the precious metals markets, and the silence of the mining industry in the face of that manipulation. Embry appealed to the industry to start standing up for itself. It was a brilliant, informative, and, let's hope, a motivating speech, and you can find it at the Sprott Internet site here:
