LONDON (FTMW) -- Is there no hope for gold? The
investment has performed so poorly for so long, even
literary New Yorker magazine felt it deserving of a

This latest piece of advice comes from Irwin
Kellner, former chief economist for several New York
City banks. Kellner tells me from his Long Island

Friends of GATA in the United States can help us by
