5p ET Wednesday, September 19, 2001 Dear Friend of GATA and Gold: You may be interested in TheMiningWeb.com's interview with Rob Edwards, an analyst with HSBC, wherein it seems acknowledged that there is a conspiracy among central banks to suppress the gold price. One has to wonder when someone is going to start calling Edwards a nut. Here's the relevant excerpt: "ROB EDWARDS: I'm being a bit bearish, but gold is definitely still seen as being the global panic barometer, if you want to put it that way. I think gold won't necessarily be allowed to go through $300. I think central banks will introduce liquidity to keep it below the $300 level. I think $300 may be seen. Anything can happen over the next couple of weeks, but I think if we do -- and I really doubt we do -- it will be very short-lived." Yes, don't worry, folks -- the central banks will make sure that gold never gets off the ground. Hey, financial press people, are you listening? Why not ask the central banks if this is true? After all, isn't this a matter of public policy? You can find the Edwards interview here: http://www.mips1.net/MGGold.nsf/Current/4225685F0043D1B242256ACC002CCB 6C?OpenDocument&ByLine=Bruce+Whitfield If that link is too long for you, go to the home page for TheMiningWeb.com: http://www.theminingweb.com/ Right now the Edwards interview is the third article from the top, headlined, "Gold unlikely to burst through $300/oz."
