Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

While the World Gold Council undertaking reported in
the Gulf News story below may be little more than a
cover for more gold leasing, it still may be encouraging
for reflecting recognition that gold is now the quot;most
sought-after asset class.quot; Just make sure that your
gold is really where you think it is and that it's

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

Delightful speculation continues about Barrick Gold's
abrupt decision to stop hedging for 10 years.

This is offered by an expert especially respected by
GATA:

quot;Either Barrick Chairman Peter Munk took the wrong speech
with him to the London conference or Barrick's banks pulled
the plug.

quot;I suppose that it is also possible that Barrick is talking

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

Here's a great letter just sent to the South
African newspaper Business Day by Durban
Roodeport Deep CEO Mark Wellesley-Wood. It
raises an issue that has confounded GATA from
the beginning: Why does a developing country

letting the market see their goal post and have thereby
made it a target for the great golden bull.
