The Murphy tonight,he's with ya... GOLD IS ON ITS WAY TO $600 PER OUNCE For the third day in a row, the dealers were STUFFED. Different days indeed, as John Brimelow remarks below. It was Goldman Sachs, Credit Suisse and Republic Bank - all trying to hold gold from breaking above $274.50, basis the August contract. Once again, volatility was the name of the game. The early sell off was met with solid big picture buyers - the same kind of buying we have seen on sell offs for many months. The deep pocket big boy buyers have been around for some time now, buying the dips, and that pattern continues. Up and down gold traded early before it punched through last Friday's high, touching off the stops. When the market sold off, who surfaced as a "huge" buyer? None other than J.P. Morgan Chase. What I have been bringing to your attention lately about J.P. Morgan Chase is very anecdotal, but we have noticed a bit of a divergence between Morgan and Goldman. Of note, there is: *The bullish J.P. Morgan gold report while Goldman talks the shares down *J.P. Morgan taking in as many of the June gold deliveries as they could *J.P. Morgan showing up on the buy side at times when Goldman is on the sell side Hard to say if it means anything. But, J.P. Morgan is the U.S. Government's main bank. We know for a fact that President Bush, Treasury Secretary O'Neill and Economic Advisor Lawrence Lindsey are well aware of the extent of the gold problem and of the pressure coming their way to answer reasonable questions by members of Congress that have been requested by the GATA camp. They must know that they have to be answered at some point. They also must be sick and tired of dealing with the gold issue and of trying solve a problem handed to them by the Clinton Administration. No point in rehashing all of that. But, suffice to say, it would make sense that they would be trying to solve the problem as best they can and then lay it out all if they have to - placing the blame for any financial fall out where it right belongs - on Clinton, Rubin, Summers and Greenspan. Also of note PAAS......Now, what was the ticker of that copper stock we found??????? Ken
