[start.] And then on the other hand if what Barrick has accomplished in being the only gold producer to have "safe" hedging while at the same time to accumulate huge massive extremely large amounts of this "safe" hedging, then its like that saying when "If it seems to be too good to be true, then it ain't" can be said towards the Barrick stuff "If it is true, all that good stuff, then there must be a reason, as in manipulation a.k.a. criminal activity." for how can only one of many be the only one able to take a risk and not receive the penalty for being wrong? Everything that relates to a transfer of money requires one side to give and the other side to take, while at the same time the opposite movement is made of a value equal to the money, as in services or goods. Exception is in gambling with only a single one way transfer, loser to winner. For Barrick to hedge big time, a gamble, and tell their shareholders that they are in a win/win, or a never lose transaction, where the final outcome may be a Yes or a No as in price of gold increases or decreases, and no matter which, they win in both. Ya, Brooklyn Bridge aTime, or manipulated aTime, or criminal activity aTime. Barrick's hedges are so "good" that they can not lost, no matter the outcome of WHAT they hedged against. If so, then it fixed so that ANOTHER is FORCED to accept and take the risk. If so then who is the DUMMY. Probably not a dummy anywhere, just corrupted folks fixing the system in a way to make manipulation look mild. dougak19 [end.] --- we now resume normal programming --- From: GATA Committee <GATAComm@a...> Date: Wed Oct 4, 2000 1:18am Subject: Is the gold market sitting on a time bomb?egroups.com This supplements the Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee's web sitegata.org and keeps interested parties advised of developments involving the lawsuit it plans to bring against those it accuses of illegal collusion to control the price and supply of gold, other commodities, and related securities.
