Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

The anonymous blogger FOFOA — Friend of Friend of Another, a name referring to the famous “Another” postings at the old USAGold.com Forum (http://www.usagold.com/goldtrail/archives/another1.html) — yesterday posted a wonderful account of the London Gold Pool of the 1960s.

It shows how those holding a short position in a rising market can still make vast amounts when they know in advance the moments of government intervention, circumstances that apply today to the London bullion market and the gold futures market at the New York Commodity Exchange.

It credits GATA for documenting the more recent developments in Western central banking’s war on gold.
