"The following link is to a US radio interview where an economist board
member of G.A.T.A. explains the reasons for the recent drop in the price of
gold/silver, why it is temporary, and the reasons it will continue to grow.

G.A.T.A. (
www.gata.org) is the "Gold Anti Trust Action committee", an
organisation who publish evidence to support their view that the bullion
banks have artificially supressed the price of gold since the late 80's to
around 2005 by selling and leasing bullion in order to keep gold low and
paper currencies relatively strong; and that they are no longer able to do
so because they no longer have the gold reserves to deal in. This means the
long term future for gold is great, but with big, temporary price
fluctuations.
