Maybe you've heard the old story about the
hand-written message on the slip of paper in the Chinese dessert: "Help!
I'm a prisoner in a Chinese fortune cookie factory!"
It's not quite that bad at GATA's roving
headquarters right now but your secretary/treasurer's long expedition to the
western shores of the Pacific Ocean has been a bigger expense than we're used
to undertaking even as we hope that it has been unusually productive --
appearances on Asia's two widest-reaching television networks, Channel NewsAsia in Singapore and CNBC Asia in Hong Kong (http://www.gata.org/node/11490), and presentations at financial conferences in both cities,
including Standard Chartered's "Earth's
Resources" conference, a venue a bit more respectable than those to
which contrarians and troublemakers commonly are invited.
The expedition required an updating and compressing
of your secretary/treasurer's "stump speech," a product that has
been evolving for years now. While the speech is now shorter -- readable
aloud in about 15 minutes -- and more of an outline aimed at people new to
the subject, it is still fully annotated with references and links to all the
important original source material. With luck it will be a valuable
introduction especially for financial journalists, should any turn up over
the next few years:

You can help by sending it to any investment firms,
mining companies, and news organizations with which you have any connection.
And of course you can help -- especially if you haven't already -- by making
a financial contribution to GATA despite the especially hard times being
endured right now by the monetary metals sector. Whether this expedition was
worthwhile or not, it has run our modest finances way down and we don't do
much fundraising even as we're ready to continue our work if the support is
still there. As always, until the World Gold Council with its
multi-million-dollar annual budget decides to get serious and confront the
elephant in the room, surreptitious market rigging by central banks, we have
to depend on you:
