Enigma, Gata Nut News requests your pro-Barrick assistance. Rather than a pro-GATA type like i to uncover and dislocate what whats to fit a GATA Battle Cry, would you please obtain and free the following Barrick info from EDGAR. Lets see not through GataEyes, but yours. ok d here is the juice [start] "... brokers have contacted Barrick Gold to determine if the rumor was true that they have covered 10 million ounces of short dated forward gold sales by buying that amount of calls against the position..." "... the answer could be found by going to the SEC's EDGAR site through Barrick's web site for all filings." [end] Oops, sorry d but i just received the following words as they entered my middle ear while i was spending time at the Le Metropole Cafe reading another version of history on how wine is turned into water, which i believe is the reverse of a religious story, which means that turning wine into water is evil. Not to be confused with turning wine into vinegar which is just bad luck or poor results. [start] "Joe, that Mr. XYZ sent me an e-mail, as folows." "The 10,000,000 ounce cover by Barrick was reported by Barrick in their back up filing to their risk disclosure statement which can be obtained from Free Edgar, and for a follow through, whatever changes have occurred since that cover can be known by a revisit to Free Edgar." [end] So d, care to jump into this and prevent the wrong view of what Barrick has and is and just done based on Edgar? And d, if not you then who can help us to determine exactly what is going on here by looking this up? To anyone else, it would be greatly appreciated and I'm sure Bill Murphy Inc will take it from there. thanks doug

Fox Guards Hen House. Ontario Solicitors. COMMENT: U.N. Tax Twaddle The A-Letter tries to keep its readers ahead of the offshore curve. Six months ago we warned you about proposals for a UN "international tax organization" (ITO), a sort of global IRS. We saw this as a "disturbing possibility, perhaps remote for now, that may be endorsed by a United Nations Summit on Financing for Development Conference" to be held in Monterey, Mexico, March 18-22. (A-L 07.10.01 Vol3 No54). UN worthies claim the ITO will solve problems caused by "globalization" that undermine "the territoriality principle on which traditional tax codes are based," i.e., high tax nations are losing revenue to low tax nations. (Yes, you're right; that's the same old OECD "harmful tax competition" song, but then the incestuous overlap of these inbred international bureaucracies is notorious). Dan Mitchell, of the Heritage Foundation says: "This meshes completely with what the EU and OECD has been trying to do for some time." Well, those loquacious, busy beaver bureaucrats at the UN have been busy spending your tax moneys at preparatory meetings for the Mexican world tax gabfest. And, thank goodness, the critics are also out in full force. Veronique de Rugy, an analyst at the Cato Institute says: "Their goal is an international tax cartel that would work to keep taxes high." Here's what the UN inspired world tax collectors plan to do: * maintain "surveillance of tax developments" in all nations; * take a lead role in "restraining tax competition"; * sponsor a mechanism for "multilateral sharing of tax information"; * "most ambitious of all," seek to develop and secure international agreement on a formula for "unitary taxation" worldwide. The UN has yet to recover from the embarrassing mess of its self-aborted anti-racism conference in Durban, South Africa last fall, only one in a series of recent harebrained UN gatherings. Fortunately for taxpayers everywhere, Monterey looks to be yet another UN implosion. "A lot of the work at these things is done well in advance, and I'm not sure there will be any adult supervision here," says Dan Mitchell. "It's up to the US government to protect it's own interests, and not let a bad idea snowball into something much, much bigger." That's the way that it looks from here.
