increasing rumours that a major merger or acquisition
is in the works.

Word is finally getting out that something is very
wrong with the gold market. As a result, it is going to
be scrutinized much more closely, and as the facts are
understood, there is going to be a gold price explosion
that few are prepared for or expect.

Today the Dallas Morning News published the first
full story about the Gold Anti-Trust Action
Committee that has appeared in the mainstream U.S.
press in the 15 months since GATA began.

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
Having gone through the data posted by the Bank for
International Settlements, Reginald H. Howe of
www.GoldenSextant.com has concluded that, far
from not being money anymore, gold was so tempting
as money to central banks and bullion banks that
they couldn't help but spend it as recklessly as they
could, putting themselves in an impossible situation
Bankers lost all restraint when it came to gold

Right off the bat today J.P. Morgan came out selling
gold down. I remarked to an associate to look out for
trouble in the stock market. It is starting to appear
