I guess he must sell products like the BMG funds so he'll defend the paper products to the bitter end.

That being said the burden of proof is still on GATA to prove the manipulation and I felt Bill's emotions got the better of him.Return to Resistancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17454633307232737149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7982981413278241287.post-81610750165692684102010-05-17T15:57:39.584-06:002010-05-17T15:57:39.584-06:00RE: the question on the amount of gold above groun...RE: the question on the amount of gold above ground: I doubt anyone really knows the real story.

All it does is raise more questions about what kind of accounting short-cuts were utilized to produce the numbers. Does anyone really believe that their expense margins REALLY decreased that much? Based on what? The union didn't concede anything. We need a true cash flow statement which they don't provide (of course). Check this out, directly from the filing:<br /><br />While management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information, they are not operating measures<br />under U.S. GAAP and there are limitations associated with their use. GM’s calculation of these non-GAAP financial measures may<br />not be completely comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies due to potential differences between companies in the<br />method of calculation. As a result, the use of these non-GAAP financial measures has limitations and should not be considered in<br />isolation from, or as a substitute for, other measures such as Net income (loss) or Net income (loss) attributable to common<br />stockholders.Dave in Denverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03016238915167131989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7982981413278241287.post-69012943931461352152010-05-17T15:45:19.963-06:002010-05-17T15:45:19.963-06:00Off topic question about gold:

Are you aware of any of this and is there truth in this?<br /><br />User comment:<br />'This number has to be way off or just based on bullion reserves by major nations. If you take in account human history and the masses of gold that we have mined through different methods over the last 5000 years, I would really estimated it to be around the 1,000,000 tons or so. My company assist in dust deals and we move about 3,000tons per year or about 1.8% of the worlds gold if the numbers were correct. Only about 100tons or so actually goes to market. Most of it goes into private reserves to be hedged against. I have even be into private vaults with over 20,000tons that were completely off the gold records.'JRnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7982981413278241287.post-4001890931651811402010-05-17T15:43:30.556-06:002010-05-17T15:43:30.556-06:00Does this do it:

Listening to anything Jeffrey Christian has to say is a tragic waste of brain cells.<br /><br />The manipulation debate is not a debate if you look at the numbers. Read Gene Arensberg's latest posted on www.goldseek.com. <br /><br />Anyone who argues against manipulation is either tragically corrupt or tragically stupid.
