Aloha Jocko, you said "Interesting because Ron Insana et-all received the "Gata Derivitives Report" yesterday. Makes me wonder how they feel sitting on news like that :-)
The first thought that came to mind was like a Mexican jumping bean on a hot seat... [:>))

More beans on the hot seat :-) 10:45p EDT Thursday, June 8, 2000
Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
You'll see from GATA Chairman Bill Murphy's comments below that GATA now is raising serious questions about what is going on with gold being shipped out of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and how it is being accounted for. We just might have a few government agencies going at it before long.
The Internet site of the Martin Armstrong Defense Fund has grown and I encourage you to check it out. As you may recall, Armstrong is the financial adviser whose lawyers were taken away by the government just as he began to talk about various market manipulations. The site is at:
armstrongdefensefund.org
Please post this as seems useful.

GATA MAKES MORE TROUBLE AT THE NY FED
By Bill Murphy, Chairman Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee Inc. Thursday, June 8, 2000
Gold was trashed late today by Hannibal Cannibal Chase Bank just as it looked like it would make a run to go positive for the trading session.
On the positive side, we received word that hedge funds were indeed going long. If that trend continues, the open interest (which was up 1,300 contracts yesterday) should continue to build as the gold price moves higher.
On that note, tomorrow is a very important day. August gold closed right above its 200-day moving average, which is moving higher. The 15-day moving average is about to cross its 40-day moving average to the upside The last two times that happened were the spikes up in September last year and February this year.
More from Agent W about the Federal Reserve Bank of New York gold moving out of the country. Reg Howe covered this issue in an essay last month, "The Fed: Up to its Earmarks in Gold Price Manipulation." A quote from Reg:
"What is immediately apparent from this chart is that disbursements of gold from the earmarked accounts of foreign central banks and other foreign official agencies at the New York Federal Reserve Bank, shown in blue, are included in exports of non-monetary gold as reported by the Commerce Department, shown in red. Plainly there is no realistic sense in which these withdrawals of foreign official gold from the Fed are U.S. exports. Possibly they are reported this way by mistake, perhaps reflecting the fact that non-monetary gold cannot be distinguished from monetary gold at the points where exports are measured. Intentionally or not, the effect is to gild the export numbers, making the trade balance appear better than it is."
GATA's Agent W has been doggedly on the case to find out what is going on here and what it might mean. This is a follow up to last night's dispatch:

From: Agent W To: Bill, Reg, Chris June 8, 2000
"Called the staffer at Census who is assigned to investigate and answer my letter to pass on my news and the names of my contacts at the Fed and Commerce. She confirms that there is a clear discrepancy and that this is a serious matter.
"It probably won't be resolved quickly because of the different government agencies involved, but she thinks my providing her with my contacts will help. She seems quite motivated. I note that this staffer has been able to get some answers and stir up interest from Customs, whereas Customs does not return my phone calls.
"She also believes that a key issue may be that the Fed considers the gold vault a warehouse but Customs does not. If the gold vault is a warehouse, the customer files the import documents; if not, then the Fed must do so."

>From www.LeMetropleCafe.com member and GATA contributor Carlos:
"I was watching CNBC this morning, and Bill Seidman, their chief commentator, was being asked some questions over the phone. One viewer asked him if U.S. taxpayers would have to bail out J.P. Morgan and Goldman Sachs, as they were shorting gold and were tremendously exposed should the price rise.
"Bill answered very politely that he didn't know that those guys were short, but that he doubted the taxpayers would pay the bill, since Goldman Sachs and J.P. Morgan were protected by the FDIC.
"I think the word is spreading around real fast."

This is what my problem is with this peoples, they are basicaly telling you that for the last 10 month they are so busy, that financials can not done in proper time, and that now it is going to take 3 to 4 weeks to fix it and maybe start trading after that. What a team, they sure know how to buy time for free. Also, she sure did not answer you question on the posponed meetings. As for getting an answer for the president, if he ever answer you, I will respectfully request that you get the answer recorded and certified, because so far is answers where not on the level. Sincerely, Michel

To: Mike Paulin who wrote (2628) | 8/23/2000 5:57:02 PM | From: Grant Baker | | | Hi Mike. Very quiet around here lately.
Received my AGM package today. Financial statements all in French - not much good to me since I am not even a bit bilingual. I get the drift of the income statement, etc., because of their format, but the notes to the financial statements might as well be in ancient Greek! Too bad, some of the most useful information is in the notes....Anyone out there willing to attempt a translation of the financial statements for the rest of us? Maybe just the highlights.....
(Haven't checked the company website to see if there is an English version of the financial statements there, but would be surprised to see that concession to anglophones!)
I think that this is typical of the arrogance of these guys to publish their financial statements in French only - they don't really give a damn about the small shareholders, and never have.
I have half a mind to to vote against the share dilution proposal (ie. not agree to the company issuing more than 25% of outstanding shares to raise new equity) and hope that with all the other small shareholders acting together we might have enough votes to make it interesting! I know that I am dreaming, but at least these guys will know that some of us are pissed off at their business naivete and incompetence!
Hope to see a more lively discussion sometime soon.
Regards.
Grant. |

To: joe minten who wrote (2632) | 4/18/2001 7:02:59 PM | From: Grant Baker | | | Anybody out there at all?
I noticed from my last broker's statement that MIQ is no longer listed, or at least my broker could not get a share value to fix the market value of my holdings in this stock. Anyone else in a similar situation? Does this stock trade at all?
I just checked SEDAR to see what was new - the latest posting there was dated Nov. 17, 2000 (5 months ago). It was the interim financial statement for the third quarter ended September 30, 2000. Nothing yet for the 4th quarter - probably won't be released until they are ready to have the next AGM and discuss the year end financials.
Given the lack of public information, I wouldn't be at all surprised if this stock disappeared altogether.
Regards.
