The GATA Gold Watch

No one has done a better job than GATA at bringing into public view the horrific dishonesty of our policy makers when it comes to the manipulation of gold by Republican and Democratic administrations alike over the past decade. 

Recently an adversary of GATA, namely John Nadler, had some complimentary words to say about yours truly. John is so much hated among many in the gold conspiracy camp that my civil discussions with him has caused some to wonder if I had joined “Nadler’s camp.” Nothing could be further from the truth. But that doesn’t stop me from listening to what he has to say and from respecting him as a human being. 

I want to go on record as saying that I subscribe to most if not all of what GATA has been saying over the years. Early on, before GATA had a large following, I was a much more active supporter. Long before the price of gold began to rise, I was convinced GATA was right. But once gold began to rise, I had to focus on using higher gold prices to make some money. So, from that time on, more of my time was devoted to picking stocks rather than focusing on the ongoing political abuse of our system by our ruling elite. Much as I would rather focus on political and economic matters, picking stocks is what I need to do for a living. So out of necessity, I could no longer be the missionary for GATA that I once was.

That said, I want to begin to pass along headlines from GATA missives each week because  I think there is no one else that keeps investors up to date with everything going on above board as well as out of view manipulations that influence the gold price and thus many other markets as well. A few of the headlines last week that I think are worth passing on are the following:
