That was NOT a rally. That was contract closing, and spot covering. Near the End of every month, people on this thread get sucked in by the same Gold price patterns. That's why the XAU stocks hardly moved today {so far}. There is no need for the producer to get there act together. This is normal course here. At the $450 price level you don't notice the $1.20 change in price nearly as much.

Tuesday June 29, 7:26 pm Eastern Time Swiss, Germans should pay Holocaust victims now-WJC By Joan Gralla NEW YORK, June 29 (Reuters) - Swiss banks and German firms should start compensating Holocaust victims immediately, instead of waiting until final plans are agreed, because many survivors are elderly and might not live long enough to get any benefits, lawyers and Jewish advocacy groups said on Tuesday. ''They should try to create an emergency fund,'' Israel Singer, Secretary General of the World Jewish Congress, said. In the past few weeks increasing attention has been paid to the need to compensate Holocaust victims as soon as possible. Five European insurers decided on June 10 to make interim payments before reaching a final accord that will settle charges that the insurers failed to pay out on prewar life and property policies bought by Holocaust victims. Singer spoke to reporters after a news conference that covered how 400,000 Holocaust survivors will be told about a $1.25 billion Swiss bank fund and how they can apply for a share. Switzerland's top banks last year set up the fund to resolve claims that they prevented Holocaust survivors from withdrawing their bank accounts and other assets. Swiss banks should immediately pay out 10 percent of the $1.25 billion fund that they created last year, Singer said.(cont) biz.yahoo.com Would this have not been far greater than $1.25 B if gold held by the Swiss Banks were at $400 Vs $260?

Perhaps GATA is having a much bigger effect than you could have ever imagined Ken. This is all happening because of the support of gold shareholders around the world that will not give up and know something is very wrong. They do not ask for victory for their contributions. They just ask for great effort. Today's letter to Tony Blair is a payoff for all that our team is doing. Tomorrow I have an interview with the FT. GATA needs contributions and the support of all those that are gold shareholders and believers in free markets. Best regards, Bill
