GoldNerds (and friends) are invited to join the Australian GATA meet-ups
Gold investors might be feeling a bit squeezed at the moment, but that's all the more reason to meet fellow souls and discuss the issues that affect us all. It could be time to kick things off again. :-)
Local face-to-face meetings proved to be a huge success in 2007 and 2008, for socialising and for business. It was a lonely world out there for gold investors back then, and the meetings grew and grew. We even received emails from people overseas who are visiting Australian cities and wanted to join in. A few mining CEO's asked to drop in and meet investors. It's a win-win for everyone really isn't it?
Things quietened down in 2009 and 2010 in most cities (ahem, one key organiser had a baby), but could fire again in your town any week, and all it might take is for you to email someone (see below) to inspire them to kick things off again. Go on... just ask.:-)
These are informal events, no speeches, no fees, just friendly chats and information swapping for serious investors.
Adelaide: Please contact Jeff Tidswell.
Brisbane: Email Troy Schwensen.
Canberra: Email us for details. The organizer recently moved to Sydney, so not sure what is happening here.
Melbourne: Email John McBride.
Perth: Email us for details.
Sydney: No current organizer.
GoldNerds is working to establish a network of savvy gold investors, and people aware of the bigger issues in the global currency and precious metals market. We welcome anyone with a serious stake in the gold market. If you feel the urge to spend an hour meeting and talking with people about the price of gold, the factors affecting it, where the best investments are, how to make money in gold, what it's like to be a lone investor who relies on their own judgement, or any issue connected to the above, especially with an Australian focus, then email us to find out more.
What is GATA ?
GATA (the Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee) is a civil rights and educational organization based in the United States. It was created in 1999 to advocate and undertake litigation against illegal collusion to control the price and supply of gold and related financial securities.
GATA has collected a lot of evidence that the western central banks have been managing the prices of gold and silver, as part of their campaign of rapidly increasing money supply, while keeping inflationary expectations low, that began in about 1995. GATA's view of the gold market, and their price predctions over the last decade, have proved to be largely correct -- especially compared to those of the major banks, governments, Kitco, the World Gold Council, GFMS, etc, who mainly talked down the price prospects of gold and silver and its monetary role.
