Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
The press release below from Central Fund
of Canada (CEF on the American Stock Exchange)
says the company is issuing 11.5 million
shares to purchase US$50 million in gold and
silver bullion. This is probably as good for
gold and silver as a mining company's closing
some hedges.

As gold's polar opposite, Nasdaq, gets blasted, bullion
investors expect miners' risky hedge books to further boost
the metal.
By some estimates, gold mining companies are hedging, or
selling forward, about 4,000 tons of gold. Some analysts say
it's far more. As gold prices continue to rise in the face of a

and finally to $321/oz, where some dealers reckon it has
