Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
GATA long has been reading the daily market letter from our old friend Michael J. Ballanger in Canada, a letter that concentrates on the mining industry but often has a wider focus and, unlike most financial letters, acknowledges market manipulation. Your secretary/treasurer thinks it's a great letter and as you'll see below, Ballanger now is taking new subscribers again and is offering a substantial subscription fee discount to GATA supporters.
I think you'll enjoy it and find it profitable.

President Donald Trump made a move to fire a member of the Federal Reserve's Board of Governors, potentially undermining confidence in the U.S. dollar and Treasury bonds -- and boosting the appeal of gold and other assets perceived as safe havens.
"The Fed's independence is its calling card, and the move to fire a governor is a direct assault on the Fed's ability to manage monetary policy free of political motives," said James St. Aubin, chief investment officer of Ocean Park Asset Management.
