Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

Gold researcher Jan Nieuwenhuijs today points out that the World Bank, a Washington-based international entity that seems intended in large part to keep the developing world tied to the U.S. dollar, has just published its "Gold Investing Handbook for Asset Managers."

The handbook doesn't seem to mention gold market manipulation by central banks but at least it's recognition of the metal's growing acceptance as money by financial establishment types.

Two decades ago rising gold prices launched a historic bull run in Canada's gold mining sector. Now, bullion is popping to all-time highs again, but this time investors are fleeing gold miners’ stocks in droves.
