Your secretary/treasurer spoke today for 15 minutes with GATA's longtime friend, market analyst and gold and silver advocate Peter Grandich, discussing the manipulated past of the monetary metals and their prospects in the free and transparent markets ahead.
Also discussed was President Trump's strange questioning of the integrity of the U.S. gold reserves held at Fort Knox in Kentucky. Your secretary/treasurer argues that the problem with U.S. government gold at Fort Knox and elsewhere is that it is oversubscribed -- that is, encumbered by swaps and leases.
