Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

Tim W. Wood of the Cycles News & Views
newsletter writes at CBSMarketWatch that
gold has topped and should be sold on
account of its awful failure to keep pace
with the CRB Index of commodity prices as
gold did 25 years ago. Too bad that Wood
doesn't delve a bit into that anomaly and
consider whether the difference between

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

MineWeb's Dorothy Kosich reports today on yesterday's
remarks to the Northwest Mining Association in Seattle
by an economist for the U.S. Commodity Futures
Trading Commission, who insisted that the silver market
is not manipulated. If only the meeting had included a
panel discussion with silver market analyst Ted Butler
or ANYONE capable of asking a pointed question or

Mr. James Surowiecki wrote a wise and moronic piece
on gold in The New Yorker. His wisdom is centered on
the insight that neither gold nor paper money are true
wealth but only relative measures, subject to adjustment.

"Gold or not, we're always just running on air," he wrote.
"You can't be rich unless everyone agrees you're rich."

The price of gold got hit, as the technical analysts
thought it would. We thought it might too ... but
only because it had run quite a bit without taking
a breather.

Does it mean the bull market in gold is over? Is it
time to sell -- taking advantage of the 40 percent
gain since George W. Bush took over the White

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

TheBullionDesk.com today more or less accused
GATA of causing today's smashing of the gold
price. The accusation came in a brief market
note by the site's proprietor, Ross Norman,
suggesting that the World Gold Council's new
exchange-traded bullion fund had been forced
on Tuesday to sell 15 percent of its gold
holdings on account of "a foul attempt by a

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

My reply to David Walker's "open letter"
to me at TheBullionDesk.com and
321Gold.com was sent to both Internet
sites last night with my request that
it be posted.

The Bullion Desk responded this morning
with a fatuous editorial declaring that
it is "time to move on," while 321Gold's
proprietor responded with a malicious,

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

TheBullionDesk.com has posted my reply
to David Walker's open letter of
yesterday, but while Walker's open
letter was posted at the top of the
Internet site's home page with a big
headline all day, the reply has been
buried among the press releases that
quickly roll off the bottom of the
page and into the archive.
