thanks, Don, good to read of Barrick damage control efforts
Barrick cash mgmt disclosures point to margin calls
this was all discernable back in May
they no longer hold corp bonds in cash
that cash is probably sent back to JPMorgan et al
how does one define "margin call"?

Barrick claims they can forever roll over underwater contracts
that is utter horseshit nonsense
can they roll them over for 15 years?
and up production with no new discoveries?
and run out of reserves also in 15 years?

if Barrick's gold bankers allow perennial rollovers, with no margin calls, then the bankers themselves assume all hedged risk from forward sales
this is pure crapp for public consumption
Barrick was created over 10 years ago by the Federal Reserve and JPMorgan for the hidden purpose of selling gold from the Fed's tonnage of gold
now we are starting to see leaks from the Hedgebook
interesting

I sincerely doubt that Sprott of the National Post was cleared to view hidden contracts with Barrick gold bankers
Sprott was shown what Barrick wanted him to see
Barrick is deeply exposed
this is pure damage control
I wonder if they bribed Sprott in some way, probably
