Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
Barrick Gold says it will sue Blanchard amp; Co.
for libel in Canada for statements connected
to Blanchard's anti-trust complaint against
Barrick in federal court in the United

If Canadian libel law remotely resembles U.S.
libel law, or has any fairness to it at all,

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
Two major American newspapers, the Miami Herald
and the Boston Globe, featured big stories on gold
today in their Sunday editions.
The Herald story reported Blanchard amp; Co.'s lawsuit
against Barrick and Morgan Chase, and cited GATA's

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
Vancouver and the Vancouver Resources Investment
Conference, sponsored by Cambridge House, could
not have been more welcoming to GATA, especially
since the conference, held at the city's convention
center, was right around the corner from Howe Street
and the Sinclair Centre, which, we fancied, soon
will be renamed for our heroes Reg and Jim,

As the short interest in gold shares started to increase, it was
easy to excuse the phenomenon as a product of what occurs
in markets when active listed options exist. However, that
excuse for the short position now defies logic because the
short side of the gold shares exceeds the open interest for the
appropriate options that would apply.

AngloGold''s Godsell says this is gold''s time
Submitted by cpowell on Fri, 2003-01-24 03:00 Section: Daily Dispatches3:12p ET Tuesday, January 21, 2003
Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
GATA doesn't necessarily think much of the essay
from Canada's National Post that is appended here,
but at least it shows that gold is becoming a
mainstream issue.
The essay's author wonders whether Fed Chairman
Alan Greenspan is hinting at a new gold standard.
GATA might argue that the United States went back
to the gold standard surreptitiously when it

Thom Calandra previews Vancouver investment conference

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
What's appended here seems awfully unusual -- an
open invitation to an imminent short squeeze in the
gold market, published in the Financial Times, no
less.
It would be a shame to miss such a party.
