[e-gold-list] [Douglas] Jackson vigorously denies HYIPs

2002-03-20 Thread Dagny Taggart

I seem to remember, after the article in Wired in
October 2001 :

http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/10.01/egold.html?pg=1topic=topic_set=

In Gold we Trust

There was a debate about the percentage of real e-gold
business versus  Ponzi and HYIP games. It seemed that
no one really was able to find an answer. 

I just came across something interesting.

As we all recall:

--begin quote---

For his part, Jackson vigorously denies HYIPs account
for anything approaching a substantial portion of
e-gold traffic. These are piddly-ass little things,
he says. When you actually run one of these things
down, they're pathetic. Still, he concedes, they're a
PR liability, and he and his staff have been working
hard to squeeze them out of the system.

---end quote

Please see the following URL to see how many gold
related  games seem to be either under investigation
or in trouble with certain authorities:

http://www.victimsagainstscams2.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard/topic.cgi?forum=17topic=1

Can any of the exchange providers comment on this?
Are you familiar with any of these?

Jim,

Your points are well made, it has been one of my
points of contention in the past, that we know nothing
of the location or agreements of the four bars that
are supposedly stored in Switzerland.

http://www.e-gold.com/examiner.html

I have asked on this list multiple times before, no
one from e-gold ever bothered to explain this anomaly
to their customers.
Why publish the other two agreements and not the one
you supposedly have with someone somewhere in Zurich?

It has always caused me to question the credibility of
examiner and thus e-gold.

That would show appropriate respect to their
customers, which I have not seen, ever in dealing with
e-gold, GSR or OmniPay. :-(

-snip

 We have a page at e-gold that says that there is a
bank
 in Ontario which has 116 bars of gold and a bunch of
other metal.

This was the original storage facility , called Bank
of Nova Scotia . e-gold had this information published
on their website back in the year 2000:

Agreements in place with with e-gold Ltd. 

Administration Parties
e-gold Ltd. has agreements with these parties 
regarding the operation of the e-gold system.

Repository: Bank of Nova Scotia, Toronto  
Escrow Agent: Central Group, Ontario (TCGON) 

Now, without notifying their customers, they changed
repositories and escrow agents, I don't find it
particularly encouraging in terms of trustworthiness.
Even after bringing this up on this list, no one from
the e-gold entities ever felt obligated to address
these concerns.

  Is the storage in Ontario covered by the JP Morgan
 Chase contract?  (Is it in London, Ontario?)

It is my understanding that the audit of the inventory
was done before the Gold was stored in the new
locations of Dubai, England and Switzerland.
It leaves open questions about the possible
whereabouts of the gold bars. In my opinion, it would
have been appropriate to have another audit, to
validate the claims e-gold makes in their examiner.

This move of the repositories and change of escrow
agents was a significant enough change to invalidate
any audit that was done before the move.

 Perhaps the storage in Zurich is also covered by the
JP Morgan Chase contract?

I can not find any mention of that in the published
agreement.
 
 What of the storage listed on the examiner as
London?
 Is any gold actually stored in London?  And is that
 London, Ontario, Canada, or London, England, UK? 
 These are pretty simple questions.  Answering them
would
 take almost no time at all.

Those answers are published on the e-gold website:

http://www.e-gold.com/contracts/egold-jpmorganchase.htm

http://www.e-gold.com/contracts/egold-transguard.htm

These agreements even still refer to Central Escrow
Agency as their escrow agents, but the website says
that e-gold has a new escrow agent:

http://www.e-gold.com/contracts/egold-bbsc.3.htm

This really leaves e-gold wide open to question their
credibility.

 However, none of these answers would do a thing for
me
 in terms of my basic concern that JP Morgan Chase is
a
 disreputable entity in my view.  The history of John
 Pierpont Morgan, his descendants, and of the banking
concern
 at Chase bank, conveys to me a huge amount of
information
 about abuse of power, political corruption, and a
dedication
 to the control of other people's money.  Working
with JP
 Morgan Chase seems like a really bad business
decision, to me.
big snip


As for auditing, it seems that, especially now after
Enron/Global Crossing, there is the need for new
concepts of auditing. There should be two independent
auditing systems. One system to audit the electronic
system that makes the e-gold or whatever electronic
currency you look at, and the second, a type of live
camera auditing of the actual storage or repository.
Both should work in conjunction with each other and
should be able to, on demand, produce and publish the
state of the database that underlies the electronic
system, and give you pictures of the inside of the
storage room to prove that the gold is actually there.

E-gold is claiming to store in Switzerland.
This has been an unsolved mystery to me in the past.
According to Examiner on the e-gold website, they have
four bars stored in Zurich, Switzerland, except that I
have been unable to find the name of the custodian or
bank or vaults, the agreement e-gold has with them or
any other reference to that storage arrangement on
e-gold's website.

http://www.e-gold.com/examiner.html

It appears, that there is no agreement, because
otherwise, it would be handled, just like the
agreements with the other Repositories in:  

JP Morgan Chase, London
http://www.e-gold.com/contracts/egold-jpmorganchase.htm

Transguard, Dubai 
http://www.e-gold.com/contracts/egold-transguard.htm

My question has always been: How do I know whether the
bars are really there or not? The number has not
changed in many month. Has anybody else found
references to the Zurich bars?
 No representative of e-gold has ever bothered to
explain that mystery, even after several attempts to
find out, here on this list.
 I think it is poor form and very unprofessional to
ignore a vital issue like this one. How can the e-gold
customers be sure that the gold is protected by the
same means in terms of dual signatories and escrow
arrangements?

It also concerns me that there is no mention of any of
the Repositories in the escrow agreement.

Makes you wonder if some of the unethical behavior of

What is next? Support of terrorists, pedophiles, money
launderers and drug dealers?

Did e-gold move back on shore?
Why would they welcome the Feds into their offices ,
if they were a true offshore company?


---begin quote-
That's not to say Jackson shouldn't be worried about
tainted money coursing through the e-gold system - or
that he isn't. But what troubles him most are the
Ponzi schemes: Hundreds of online pyramid scams have
made e-gold (because of its convenience and because it
offers bilked users no way to cancel charges) their
payment system of choice.

It gives some sense of how much these operations have
contributed to e-gold's bottom line to know that, to
this day, the single largest holding in the e-gold
system - $1.1 million in gold, 8 percent of total
reserves - sits unclaimed in an account belonging to
an alleged Ponzi that shut down a year ago. As for
more recent activity, Eric Gaither of Gaithman's, one
of the leading independent gold-currency exchanges,
guesses that at least 50 to 60 percent of e-gold
transactions are headed into or out of what he and
others sometimes euphemistically call HYIPs (high-
yield investment programs) or simply games. Other
reputable exchange providers put the figure between
30 and 90 percent. Frankly, says Steve Foerster,
former CTO of GSR and currently COO of Dominca-based
gold currency 3PGold, without online games right now
there would be no gold economy.

For his part, Jackson vigorously denies HYIPs account
for anything approaching a substantial portion of
e-gold traffic. These are piddly-ass little things,
he says, when you actually run one of these things
down, they are pathetic. Still, he concedes, they're
a PR liability and he and his staff have been working
hard to squeeze them out of the system. They've
instituted know your customer rules to identify
suspected swindlers, and they've cooperated amicably
with law enforcement. When SEC staffers came to GSR's
offices last May to review the accounts of one of the
biggest e-gold schemes ever - the self-styled
Christian-
based humanitarian organization, E-Biz Ventures, shut
down after allegedly inflicting losses of $8.5 million
on investors - they were welcomed coffee, bagels and
a conference room of their own. J. Chris Condren, the
attorney charged with recovering E-Biz investors'
money,
has only good things to say about e-gold. They've
answered every question, they've responded to every
subpoena, every request for information.

Still Jackson sometimes seems almost baffled that
anyone could care who uses e-gold and why. It's all
the same for him, for instance, that most users
haven't
a clue about the profound macroeconomic consequences
he sees in e-gold. They could be doing this for the
dumbest reasons, we don't care, he says. All we need
is growing
circulation

announcement as to what is happening to our gold .
This started very quietly some months ago, I am
concerned about the policy of quietly changing things
regarding some important aspects of trust, like the
escrow arrangement.
It also appears that the new escrow agent is located
in the US, as a matter of fact in Baltimore, Maryland,
where one of the founders of e-gold, who incidentally
is an attorney as well, is practicing. It could be
interpreted as the following and I am only speaking in
hypothetical terms:

First Bank of Nova Scotia decided to stop doing
business with e-gold for whatever reasons and then the
Spencer's, as Escrow agent felt uncomfortable with
what they may have heard about and so they gave up the
job as escrow agents.

So where do you get an new Escrow agent fast? You
could get one of your old lawyer buddies from law
school to do the job, same city, does it really matter
whether they have any kind of backround in the Gold
Industry?

E-gold does not seem to think so...

While we are at it: I have another concern:

We can see the audit that was done BEFORE the bars
were moved to the other storage locations, but how do
we know that they are there now? Should e-gold have
done an audit after the move, to make sure that
everything is in order and that the property of the
e-gold accountholders is indeed there?
How can we trust the statements in examiner, if e-gold
can not even inform its customers about a  simple 
change in escrow arrangements?

are managing, among others the famous Central Fund Of

Now I see that the new Escrow Agent is a lawyer firm

2001-07-17 Thread Dagny Taggart

Viking, 

are you trying to suppress criticism, now that e-gold
has lost its monopoly position and still treat their
customers with that same arrogance?

You behave like a baby, someone hurt your e-gold
feelings? Get over it. It sounds to me like e-gold
have outgrown their idealism and good intentions and
are only hanging on with help of the idealism of their
original customers, who are not willing to admit to
themselves that something has gone wrong in the path
of original intentions and all those scams, people
keep talking about.

e-gold should have listened to all of you here and
embraced the great suggestions that have been made on
this list, but no they have their own agenda, I wonder
what it is?

 No, I don't know of thousands of businesses

snip

 E-Gold, for the past 3 months now, has again resumed
 its phenomenal
 growth -- now up about 20% in funded accounts over
 10 grams, since March. 

Account creation is down for  the fifth consecutive
week and if it hadn't been for the few really popular
scams, nothing has changed in the statistics, if you
look at the numbers from last August. Current account
holders are getting their pay out from their scams,
that is why you have a growth in accounts over 10
grams. It is only about 100 USD, anyway.

As
 long as E-Gold maintains steady growth, it doesn't
 need to advertise -- and
 probably shouldn't advertise if the growth rate
 remains this high.

It should attract real businesses, instead of scams
and porn sites!
How does that go along with the E-Dinar morals,
anyway? Are they endorsing porn and scam as well,
since they are using the same system? Do the e-dinar
people even know what the e-gold customer base is?

 Of
 course, PayPal was able to grow much faster, so
 maybe E-Gold could too, but
 PayPal is still in the Red and E-Gold is still in
 the Black.

How do you know that?
I would like to see e-gold PL sheets.
Are you confusing e-gold with GSR, again?
I would like to see GSR's PL sheet as well, while we
are at it.

 Slow, steady,
 growth can be considered ideal.
 
 Craig

If it were not for people like you and Viking Coder,
e-gold, GSR and whatever else they call themselves
would not have many friends vocalizing as if they were
an authority and on the inside!
How can you speak with s much authority, if you

 of gold in circulation (like there has been since
 4/23) with 8 account
 holders having between 10Kg and 100Kg and 1 account

 100Kg and 1Mg.
 
 4 minutes and 27 seconds later you post the above

 Then at 9:58:19pm the stats were as follows: 1.41Mg
 of gold in circ. with
 9 accout holders having between 10Kg and 100Kg and 1
 account holder having
 between 100Kg and 1Mg.
 
 I think it is safe to conclude that Omnipay is the
 account holder having
 between 100kg and 1Mg. 2 bars equals 800 oz equals
 ~24.9 Kg which would
 definitely bring another account into the 10Kg-100Kg
 bracket.
 
 This means that it is highly possible that somebody
 else, i.e. NOT
 Omnipay, deposited/bailed the gold into the reserve
 vault.

[e-gold-list] minimum

2001-03-28 Thread Dagny Taggart

Please help me think this through:


e-gold, GSR and OmniPay are run by the same people.
That puts OmniPay in a very monopolistic position in
regards to market share,
access to customer information and fraud protection.

OmniPay used to have a USD 3000 InExchange minimum,
which meant less customers.
OmniPay gives reeeaaaly bad customer service.

OmniPay lowered their minimum to USD 1000, which means
more customers.
Logically, they should now give even worse customer
service and they are 
slapping their Exchange Providers in the face by using
their monopoly position to 
take customers away from the other service providers?

Is OmniPay doing so badly that they have to cut out
the middle man?

What a business practice is this?
First encourage people to open businesses, based on a
system and then 
take it away, almost sound like someone is trying to
play god:

One giveth, one taketh away!!!

Someone is having some fun ruining other people!

approximately 25 Federal Gestapos on Monday,
 March 12, 2001. 
 Under the deception of investigating credit

 gross 
 intimidating tactics of our increasingly tyrannical
government. The raid seems to
have been aimed at Parker's past acceptance
 of credit cards 
 for e-gold - a practice that had cost him dearly
as the credit card
industry is so easy to rip off which then
 blames the merchant.
 
Please forward this alert to your list and

stay well informed and ready to investigate
 any pattern of 
 the government's tyranny.

[e-gold-list] Patent

2001-03-12 Thread Dagny Taggart

Not only should e-gold worry about e-gold but also
about DigiGold!

This is taken from the GoldMoney.com web site, I guess
this could be considered their official statement:

  
Patents
GoldMoney has received two US patents. An application
for a third patent is pending. The awarding of these
patents acknowledges that GoldMoney is advancing the
‘prior art’. Namely, we have created a more advanced,
and therefore better currency than the currency that
now exists. The patents illustrate why GoldMoney is a
currency that is ideally suited for ecommerce. 

 The first patent application was filed in February
1993, and US Patent No. 5,671,36 was awarded in
 September 1997. This patent provides for a system and
method that enables gold or other commodities
 (tangible assets) to circulate through an electronic
medium as currency in a book entry accounting
  system. 
 The second patent, US Patent No. 5,983,207, was
awarded in September 1999. This patent provides for a
 system and method that enables gold or other
commodities to circulate electronically as digital
cash,
 ensuring privacy and facilitating micro-payments. 

  Both patents may be viewed at the U.S. Patent
Office’s website (www.uspto.gov).

e-gold are very aware of such things, it seems like

2001-02-07 Thread Dagny Taggart

If you want to be an Exchange provider for them, you
will have to bail a 400 oz bar into the system, unless
you buy from the currently listed Cambio?
It seems like a very steep startup cost.

It looks to me like they cater to investors of large
proportion, even the 5000 minimum is pretty steep for
a business that is a start up.

I wonder if the e-gold bars are part of the same good
delivery standards circle they are talking about.

Did anybody find out how to get gold into your
Holdings?

What type of payment is the Cambio accepting?

 Hello!
 
 I believe I'm beginning to understand why you're
 feeling uncomfortable.
 
 These presumptions are not correct:
 
 1) Who's running an unlicensed bank? Seriously, I
 don't know what it is
 you're calling a bank. To be a bank, you have to pay
 interest. Private
 Digital Currencies do not fall under banking
 regulations. Look at PayPal.
 The only difference between PayPal and E-Gold, in
 this fundamental sense, is
 that PayPal does NOT buy any underlying assets when
 new PayPal dollars are
 put into their system, whereas gold is bailed into
 the E-Gold system for
 each new ounce of e-gold. It didn't have to be built
 this way; GSR could
 have simply made 'promises' to back their currency
 and kept the money from
 the sale of e-gold in their own bank accounts. They
 chose not to do it this
 way because they didn't believe in it.
 
 2) This is not a Commodities' Brokerage. There is no
 brokering and there is
 no leveraging. You're buying a private digital
 currency backed by gold. This
 is not a regulated industry in the US.

[e-gold-list] confusion?

2001-01-28 Thread Dagny Taggart

Because they do not want to sell gold and they are
trying to hold on to as much gold as they can, even
if
it means jeopardizing their trading balance?

Here your confusion is showing. The only thing they
are in business
for is to bail the gold to e-gold then sell e-gold.
GSR don't want to
own and hold on to gold as you suggest.

I agree, if they were true separate companies.

 You need to draw the
distinction between e-gold and GSR/OMNIPAY...
Different functions
entirely, don't confuse the two.

My understanding is that the founders of e-gold are
running GSR/OmniPay and that they, as Exchange
Providers, have access to the e-gold servers.

 Yes.  I have.  It was like pulling teeth to get them

 bailment from themselves (GSR).  Their answer (such

Lets take poor Mr. Michael Moores experience back when
it happend.

He is still suffering from the aftershocks of being
blamed for the banking system, taken of the exchange
provider list and as far as I understand the
happenings, he was being accused of being a criminal,
the value was frozen by the principal of egold in an
e-gold account and then Mr. Moore was asked to pay
back the money that the banking system took from GSR,
despite the fact that nothing had left the
system...controlled by the same people who had control
of GSR/omnipay/e-gold/digigold.

 Exchange providers make money on selling gold at a
 higher price then

 Since the price of gold has been recently dropping,
 GSR bought bars
 at a higher price then what they would be redeeming
 it at.  Lets
 consider the above.
 GSR buys 10 bars at spot price of 272 which is
 highly unlikely but
 anyway.
 $272 x 400 x 10 = $1088000
 Now GSR bails in 10 bars at the spot price now of
 262 and pays
 e-gold the 1% premium that it charges.
 
 Always assuming that the powers that be at e-gold
 were REALLY STUPID
 people! 
How do we know that they aren't?

They have control of the spot price of
 e-gold. 

If you look at their exchange rates and compare them
with Kitco for instance, they are very close.
They do not have control of the spot price when
needing cash for an outexchange.
Bank of Nova Scotia will probably treat them as small
potatoes in comparison with the real world.
So they can not just name their price, because this is
stepping out of their Universe into the real world,
the only interface between the two.

Why would they
 be so foolish as to buy gold when it was expensive
 and then sit on it
 for weeks till the price dropped before bailing it
 in?

Because they do not want to sell gold and they are
trying to hold on to as much gold as they can, even if
it means jeopardizing their trading balance?
 
 If I was GSR, I would do the deal all on one day,
 order the gold,
 prepare the payment at a certain price, then pay for
 the gold and bail
 it in all within a short period, while holding the
 e-gold spot price
 fixed at a certain level till all was completed.

GSR does not set exchange rates any different for the
outexchange part as e-gold, for whatever clever
reason...
It is impossible to keep the market fixed in a fast
changing environment.
If GSR kept their exchange rates fixed and the price
of gold would go up, they would also risk a loss,
because they would buy from the dealer at the higher
price and still sell at a same spread, derived from a
lower spot?

How do you predict the future?
You would want to sell the same bar of gold as many
times over and over again, by doing inexchanges and
outexchanges. 
You do not know though how many ounces you are going
to get today so you can sell them again, that means
that you have to have some in reserve to fulfill your
inexchanges. If you have an account creation of almost
7000 in one week, you have to buy as your customers
demand it.
If the accountholder deceides they want to get out of
e-gold for whatever reason, you have to come up with
the cash. I am sure every exchange provider knows what
I am talking about?


 No
 problem with
 fluctuating values at all.

big ones, if you look at both sides.
 
 Of course the e-gold that GSR owned after the deal
 may take a while
 to sell, during which time they may be selling at a
 loss in a falling
 market, but I guess that is why they don't seem to
 buy huge amounts at
 any one time

Did you not watch the statistics page?

4-6 bars a day, that is a pretty big quantity, you are
talking about half a million dollar deals and more

 This is my take, have I missed something??

Just the real world.

 Now, if
 someone wants to exchange their e-gold for US
 dollars, it doesn't matter
 what the price was it was originally sold for; the

They would have to take whatever the market and I
think they only deal with Bank of Nova Scotia? offers
them

Otherwise they would lower
 their OutExchange price.

Why would you go under spot?

  Exchange providors make money on selling gold at a
 higher price then they
 bought it at.
 
  Since the price of gold has been recently
 dropping, GSR bought bars at a
 higher price then what they would be redeaming it
 at.  Lets conside the
 above.
 
  GSR buys 10 bars at spot price of 272 which is
 highly unlikely but
 anyway.
  $272 x 400 x 10 = $1088000
 
  Now GSR bails in 10 bars at the spot price now of
 262 and pays e-gold the
 1% premium that it charges.
  $262 x 400 x 10 x .99 = $1037520
 
  The difference is $50480.  Have fund with that.

 The principals of Costa Gold have not responded to
 our due diligence
 inquiries.
 
 In cases where our customer will not comply with our
 due diligence
 procedures, it is our practice to refund the e-gold
 to the e-gold account(s)
 used to fund the exchange.  However, we have
 received conflicting
 information from entities representing themselves to
 be Costa Gold that
 preclude us from refunding the e-gold in this
 particular case at this time.
 
 Specifically, we have received communications
 indicating that the
 password(s) for Costa Gold have been compromised due
 to inadequate security
 at Costa Gold, and have also received these
 conflicting instructions:
 
 2.  Instructions to fulfill the orders immediately.
 
 3.  Instructions to stabilize the value.
 
 4.  Instructions to cancel the orders and refund the
 e-gold.
 
 Therefore OmniPay has requested Smith  Downey,
 P.A., the US counsel for
 Gold  Silver Reserve, Inc., to set up an escrow
 account to hold the
 disputed e-gold balance until a proper disposition
 can be made. The account
 balance in this escrow account is publicly viewable
 using the following URL:
 
 http://www.e-gold.com/pub-bal.asp?pubid=244983
 
 Refund of the escrowed funds is contingent on
 provision of information from
 the principals or authorized agents of Costa Gold
 confirming that they are
 authorized to make disposition of the disputed
 value.
 
 Reid Jackson
 Managing Director
 Gold  Silver Reserve, Inc.

 What about liability? There is abundant evidence

Is e-gold always backed 100% by precious metals and

Is this only a claim they make?

 steep discount (because the
  owner of e-gold also has a equity ownership
 position in SR) - and then 
  re-issues the e-gold as SR gold.
  
  Therefore SR is no more then a clone of e-gold,
 sure, SR has more features
  and more options available than e-gold - but, in
 the long run, as long as SR
  is simply "Re-named" e-gold they shouldn't tell
 everyone that they are 
  Completely Unique.
  
 
 This is a very interesting question and one which
 many may not really
 undersand. Standard Reserve does not re-issue
 E-Gold. Rather, Standard
 Reserve holds E-Gold as the asset backing Standard
 Gold. In doing this,
 Standard Reserve has a far more liquid asset than
 E-Gold making it
 possible to handle that asset in a different manner
 than E-Gold.

[e-gold-list] Re: another way for Standard Reserve e-gold to market itself...

2000-12-24 Thread Dagny Taggart

I have been told that e-gold has been doing
micropayments since the beginning.
What is the big deal with Standard Reserve "
implementing" this?

I have some Pokemon Cards and old National Geographic
Magazines,
I think I am just going to post what I have to sell on
this list.
I have some dirty laundry that needs to be washed. 
Would you prefer Standard Reserve or e-gold in payment
to do it for me? 


Should we change the name of this list to Standard
e-gold bay?

 I knew Jakob had some good points ;-). 
 MicroPayments are one of 
 the major features that we will be implementing at
 Standard 
 Reserve.  Stay tuned.

[e-gold-list] RE: why?

2000-12-18 Thread Dagny Taggart

Thank you for this prompt explanation.
It is not very clear to me though why Goldtoday would
be taken off
the list of market makers, since he seemed to be the
scapegoat for e-gold and the banks?

So e-gold is behaving just like the banks?
What incentive do I have now to switch from the
banking system to e-gold?

 I can answer that for you.
 
 Michael Moore, who runs the gold-today site  was hit
 my two crimminals who 
 placed orders using counterfeit cheques not long
 ago.  Those cheques (a couple 
 of hundred dollars AUS) were sent direct to the
 gold-today banks and then 
 subsequently passed to e-gold and to the crimminals
 accounts. when it was 
 discovered that these cheques were fraudulent  the
 banks retrieved the funds 
 from e-gold and returned them to the issuing banks. 
 (All the market makers 
 are aware of this of course).
 
 As a consequence  e-gold did not approve of this and
 decided to punish 
 gold-today by removing them from the accredited list
 of market makers.
 
 This has not detered gold today who is still doing
 business despite having 
 been hit both by the crimminals and e-gold.
 
 I am a client of gold-today  and have always found
 Michael Moore to be honest 
 and efficient in business.
 The thing I like most about doing business with
 Michael is that he always 
 communicates,  unlike omnipay  and e-gold who I
 reckon ignores  most 
 communications as you might know if you have been
 following this discussion 
 board.
 
 I think you will also find,  if you ask around to
 the other market makers,  
 that they will vouch for Michael Moore in the
 highest possible terms.
 
 I hope that answers your question.
 
 (Sorry  Mike I just had to get in first!!)
 
 Chuck.

 Dear Michel Moore?
 
 If you are a market maker, why is Goldtoday not
 posted
 on the e-gold site?
