Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
I received the following disturbing news a little while ago from GATA Chairman Bill Murphy. Maybe it means nothing. But if this stuff keeps happening, it surely WILL mean something.

Last night was a bummer. After working all day, I walked over to the local hot spot restaurant to have a good meal and blow off some steam. As my car was stolen a month ago and has not been replaced yet, I had to walk. About 1 a.m. I left the restaurant after listening to some great tunes and headed for home on foot.
About 20 yards outside away from the restaurant, somebody out of nowhere socked me in the left cheek. Down I went. All I remember is being picked up by people. I don't think my jaw is broken, but I can hardly talk and my right cheek (which I fell on) is a mess.
I have lunch tomorrow with a money manager who flew in to Dallas from London to meet clients. He won't forget my appearance, as I look like I went a round with Mike Tyson.
Today I was taken by friends to the passport photo place to have a permanent record made of the one-punch knockout.
First, my car is stolen and yet money is left in the stolen car when it is recovered. Now this haymaker on my way home. Were these two random events occurring a month apart from each other, or are there more sinister forces at work? Is GATA getting to close to the flame?
I don't know the answers, but it is all a bit unnerving.
