Bill Murphy has just returned from a great trip to Fairbanks,
Alaska where he gave a speech to the Alaska Miners Association.

As it was 18 below zero the first nite there, Bill has not yet thawed out,
but he and friends are working on this and expect full success asoon.

The following is Bill talking, with the chattering of teeth sounds
edited out for readability.

[Bill Murphy, Chairman Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee Inc.(GATA)]

Hello everyone, Bill Murphy here.

Rich Hughes, the Convention Co-Chairman, was most gracious and I
thoroughly enjoyed myself.

Of most importance was that several of the attendees are friends
(first name basis) with two of the United States Senate's more
influential members and they took copies of the presentantion
to put it in front of them right away.

Senator Frank Murkowski is from Fairbanks, has a banking backgound,
and is the Chairman of the Natural Resource Committee.

Ted Stevens, from Anchorage, is Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee.

Also to receive the speech was local Fairbanks Congressman, Don Young.

The speech combined some of the old with some of the new.

[End. Bill Murphy talks about GATA activity.]

All the best,
Bill Murphy,
Chairman Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee Inc.(GATA)

What happened to Precious Metals on Bridge/CRB Current Quotes?? They disappeared.

Has anyone noticed that lately, you can't depend on what you read on-line re financial info?
I've been seeing wrong stuff all over the place. Even CNBC has been having problems.

I sent a message to SI today because I saw that over past 2 months, a number of stocks have
had incorrect 52-wk range listed on SI in Stocktalk. Some have gotten fixed over past 2 months.
Some haven't. Really weird.

Plus a lot of problems with hardware/software causing trading disruption in various MARKETS ... primarly attributed to increased volume transactions. TSE [Toronto Stock Exchange] had major problems last week. Some people couldn't get confirmation for trades for several days.

BTW - HUGE drop on NIKKEI Index: -603.94 What do you think is causing this?

I don't like to place "stops". Rarely have. But I have started to ... because I've been having trouble getting access to my on-line broker [DLJ Direct] during a down market. Mostly cash right now. Not having accurate info is getting me very nervous. IMHO - not worth the risk.

I'm very comfortable with a few gold stocks that I've been holding as a hedge against this market. They're the only stocks that I don't have a "stop" on.

<<Let's not forget that this oil economy was heavily subsidized by the public sector (cheap land grants.... favorable exploration rights, a military security umbrella... etc).>>

OK, Not trying to start any fights here. Is this any less than was done in prior times with the railroads, the electric companies, Ma Bell, or today with the Internet?

Still interested in Banks?

going to require much more draconian measures' on the part of the
Fed, such as larger rate boosts, or inter-meeting rate increases,>>
