It's wrong to conclude that gold is a good deflation hedge, if there is deflation in modern times. The gata article sites the rise in HM during the depression to prove this point. But gold was money during the depression -- the world was on a gold standard. So, HM's product was in demand at the same price as before, while the price of everything else was collapsing. Gold is a good currency and inflation hedge, but I think if there is world-wide deflation, its price will collapse along with other commodities, because today gold is largely demonetized. By the way, I very strongly doubt that there will be deflation. The CBs will do everything in their power to prevent deflation, including engineering inflation -- that's the reason to own some gold and/or gold stocks as a hedge.

To keep interested parties advised of developments involving GATA and the lawsuit it has brought, and others it may bring, against those it accuses of illegal collusion to control the price and supply of gold, other commodities, and related securities, the email group located at groups.yahoo.com was created to supplement the Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee's informational web site of gata.org Membership in groups.yahoo.com is free, this is a mailing list. Members: 1277 GATA is a civil rights and educational organization under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code and contributions to it are hath deductible in the United States. [Start of Warning.] Gata's email group messages contain items which you the viewer could interpret as inappropriate for distribution using the thread posting feature of Silicon Investor. This Gold Price Monitor thread on Silicon Investor has no other item more on-topic in the gold markets that the activities of GATA. GATA hopes that it will be successful and contribute to the undoing of those hardships inflicted onto the people of Africa as a direct result of the collapse of their gold mining industry as the price of gold has been manipulated in a criminal manner to remain under a price to allow their nation to care for itself. A perception of the forest while ignoring certain trees may allow people interested in learning current status of GATA to obtain specifically that information while ignoring the person Bill Murphy attempts to shake rattle and roll from you any loose change you may have. To put this into more direct words, a solicitation for funds to facilitate the execution of the Reg Howe's (Howe/GATA) Complaint which was filed at the Federal District Court of Bostin Massachusetts.
