I think that providing a direct link to the site is acceptable.

There's a new gold fix in town. Not sure how the electronic process is less susceptible to manipulation.

The article is behind the pay wall.  :(

Google "Gold Market Electronic Pricing Mechanism" and you will get a special link to the full article.

Thanks, it worked! Although it's weird how the same URL resolves in a pay wall when clicked directly and a full article when navigated to from the search results. I haven't checked, but it might be that Google sends some extra parameters in the redirect URL that tell WSJ server not to invoke the pay wall.

Still paywalled for me.
