Prior to a bad storm, birds stop singing and kangaroos stop laying eggs. Aussie Gold Producer Hedge Book Blow Up Builds Centaur + Hannibal Lecter + Hannibal Cannibals "The Banks" are getting very nervous!!!!! Mindboggling how the bullion dealers have hoodwinked these good Aussie folks to play the routette wheel knowing that an overly hedged play was in the spin. Doomed for a scour from a self inflicted scourging as their shareholders look on in disbelief knowing that once the tears of pain run dry they will focus an evil eye and let fly lawsuits to find out why. doug

The Gata Grape Vine Harvest - gobbledegook & gyrations of a goblin Its just me really, as stuff about gold not of a good v evil battle just simply holds no interest for I, and especially that XAU thing that has entered a "I get no kindfull respect." So the following to me is gobbledegook + gobbledygook. "Gold mining shares are as undervalued, relative to the price of gold, as most other sectors are overvalued." "A simple ‘return to the mean’ could still see the XAU double even if gold prices remain flat." "In the meantime... would appear to be fairly valued around $400." Now if one thinks those folks on that Uncle Bill Dutch thread have been eating cookies with grilled wacko weed included, then the following at the Le Metropole Cafe will strongly not be your cup of tea.

doug said:'yes Hutch, i know "its out there", but the TruTh??? ' To which I'm reminded of the statement: "Whoose truth, yours' or mine?" Consider these wise words: Who would be a poor man a beggerman, a thief if he had a rich man in his hand Who would steal the candy from a laughing baby's mouth if he could take it from the money man Cross-Eyed Mary (I. Anderson) (Note: Original by Jethro Tull, on album Aqualung) GATA in it's infantile wisdom has made some ludicrous claims in the past, and also in the present. Reality dictates that what should be feared the most is Truth. Not truth being found out, nor the truth that lurks behind ever news items; but the truth that gets distorted for causes and illusions of power. This is the truth that GATA lusts for. In the past we knowledgeable people on the Gold Price Monitor have witnessed the attack from Bill Murphy and hence Gata against the once wise Martin Armstrong. Because Martin Armstrong's economic forecasts predicted doom for GOLD and Japan in the past, he was ridiculed and later ostracized. But yet his fulfillment of economical dire striates came true. This makes him a target of GATA and a target of the Japanese Government. Ultimately he has ended up in Jail, and has had his money seized by the same government that GATA is seeking to fight. US Government suggests that ALL people have a right to defend themselves timely. Yet being unable to fund a defense, and drawn out for years. He is now at the mercy of other. GATA has propounded this allege short position for years. But yet their allegations are fruitless. In the past I've personally have mentioned to Bill Murphy that YES their is/was manipulation in the Gold markets. I even pointed to the time frame, the government, and the reasons why such events have taken place. The fact that he is so clueless as to who, what and when only goes to aid in the understanding that to Bill Murphy, it's not about the GOLD but the loss of income that he must have occurred. Why is it that we public have never seen his trading record prior to GATA formation of Mr. Murphy? Even my most stanch ingrate on this thread {OLE 49r} has asked that question. Maybe his support is less then honorable? Martin Armstrong made his predictions based on what he considered important at the time. And my analysis of Gold, although different from his, gave the same conclusion as to the direction back then. Although I speculated that the US Dollar has topped, and that a hard landing is unavoidable I also don't expect a $350+ run on gold. The world economics are not entering into a deflationary spiral as it was back in 98 when I termed the phrase: "Baby Bear" {months before my little buddy Ralph Accampora did}. The currency markets of this world out weigh the gold markets. Gold is used many times as an over night holder of credit for such transactions. Often people mistake this as being short on the books. Information about gold shorts based on such actions only go to inflate the expectations and leads to the false conclusion of conspiracies. To have a good conspiracy; you must have a reason, none here are justified. Hutch

GNN - Heard through the Gata Grape Vines Gata Nut News - Unverified Information of Uncertain Origin Gold Anti-Trust Action Chairman Bill Murphy Speaks Gata Nut News wishes to wonder about questions. No, not directed towards the answers to those questions, but to focus for an understanding of the creations of questions, especially when they are asked in a retortical manner. "... the GATA camp has noted this extraordinary pattern of physical buying in Asia and Europe, followed by selling in the USA... this consistent pattern is unprecedented, unnatural, and obviously representative of a rigging, USA based operation." "... so difficult to understand [caution to the wind] jaded bully Goldman Sachs... [in the open, plain as day] [engaged in] criminal fraud to rig the gold market and make billions..." Sure, they may have no choice, between a rock & hard place, either business collapse + criminal investigation or wait and hope for aSoon major event like a World War III. Either way their days are numbered and a very bad ending aWaits them. As if they have had permission from the usa clinSin administration to loot and steal in public without fear of the laws. But no more to be it looks like, a prez gore. out with the old out with the outlaws in with new Rep Party folks folks that know of the ok'ed sins sins that now come a calling I wrote in a prior post, a reply to rareBird, the following. "... knowned by the Republican Party, of bad economic times already in the cards for usa, then once bush become prez-elect it will be in their greatest interest to "hurry up" these sights & sounds..." If not done before prez bush sworn in, but after, then its the Republican Garden of Sorrow that the usa people will know as causing their misery. If the BadaTimes start after January, then what can those Republician Party folks do to place the blame where it belongs, the clinSin administartion? Maybe now start investigations into those players that have done bad and evil and corrupt. November 29, 2000, 2:05 PM PST Top U.S. Investment Banks Under Antitrust Microscope By Anya Schiffrin The Justice Department is investigating possible antitrust violations by a number of major U.S. investment banks involved in online bond-trading systems. According to several people working for the banks under investigation, Merrill (MER) Lynch, Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs and others all have received detailed questionnaires from the Justice Department inquiring about the workings of their online bond consortia. These trading systems include Bond Book and Market Axxess. The letters are known as "Civil Investigative Demands" and are the opening salvo of a DOJ investigation. "All the banks got one," confirmed one bank spokesman who did not want to be identified. Goldman Sachs said it never comments on legal proceedings. A spokesman for Merrill Lynch said, "We can confirm we have received the inquiry and we are fully cooperating." Morgan Stanley said, "We can confirm we have received a letter and we are cooperating fully with the Department of Justice." The DOJ had no immediate comment on its investigation. Antitrust experts say the DOJ is worried that close communication between buyers and buyers, and sellers and sellers could increase the possibilities of price-fixing. "If you increase....." [start.] "What I am fairly sure of is that they are having their last hurrah with gold. The Gold Cartel is in big trouble. They are petrified to even let gold rally $5 and take out the spec shorts like they did the past few years. One day in the near future, the price of gold is going to explode for no apparent reason and Goldman Sachs is going to have some explaining to do to a good many people." [end.]

If gold bugs(98% are pro GATA) and gold persons would submitted their opinion about a manipulated gold market then it might make it into the top 10. [Start.] In its annual tradition, WorldNetDaily invites readers to submit what they consider the most "spiked" stories of the year in the newssite's interactive forum, "Operation Spike!" which goes live today. Most new organizations choose to end each year with a review of the top stories of the preceding 12 months. However, WND continues its long-standing practice of drawing attention to the year's most important stories that were either unreported or under-reported by the establishment press. In previous years, WND has made the selection itself. But with the overwhelming success of last year's "Operation Spike!" forum, editors have decided once again to take suggestions from the newssite's 1 million readers. Last year, readers responded with tremendous enthusiasm, submitting so many spiked stories that WND editors were left wondering just what the establishment media did cover. All suggestions submitted to the forum will be evaluated by WND editors, and the very best will be made available in a Top 10-style report after the first of the year. Submit your choice for the most spiked story of 2000 to worldnetdaily.com END. [End.] - eXtra - ... if you care anything about freedom, "say it loud" about the Gold Scandal.

GNN - Heard through the Gata Grape Vines This is a Gata Nut News Special Notification of Unverified Information of Uncertain Origin. ... the latest report that the President has put ... behind a new round of US Military Base closures ... Among the list ... one particular base the Army has under high consideration for closure (with moving of its operations to Texas), is: Fort Knox in KY. Hmm,, this struck me as quite odd to say the least. ... the PRIMARY Mission of Ft Knox and its Armor Companies is support and defense of the US Bullion Repository.. Ft Knox ... this begs the question's. 1) Why... thus leaving the Repository and it metal Deposits vulnerable to possible attack or theft? 2) Does the Pentagon Brass know something the public does not? i.e. that there is no Gold in the Vaults... ... if there is little to none of the bullion left in the vault then it is understandable... to save money...
