Does the chart prove anything, or just that four asset classes had similar 60 month run-ups and 24 month declines. <BR/><BR/>Not much to support a bearish Gold theory there. What do you say about March 2008 Gold and Silver prices, and whether both metals ought to recover to those levels?<BR/><BR/>Look at inflation-adjusted Gold prices if you are going to make a point about Gold's value as a store of value and alternate currency.<BR/><BR/>Not sure I expect or want a huge run-up, but Gold and Silver should quietly appreciate here as the Dollar and much of Europe fall away. Since the Gold/Silver ratio is currently above 70, and should be close to 60, we can expect Silver to push ahead. Silver is underpriced at anything under $20.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11027528911364475.post-77489543057038095922009-03-12T14:02:00.000-07:002009-03-12T14:02:00.000-07:00irrational... i have something ready to post on ju...irrational... i have something ready to post on just that tomorrow.Jakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07946497592651234440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11027528911364475.post-77739154947543585022009-03-12T13:46:00.000-07:002009-03-12T13:46:00.000-07:00As far as the intrinsic value of gold- besides for...As far as the intrinsic value of gold- besides for consumption, the primary reason people are hoarding it is because it's historically a relatively portable store of wealth- not as good as paper money obviously, but the ultimate fear is the fiat currencies will collapse- so in this sense it's an insurance play more than a normal commodity play.<BR/><BR/>Not sure if you remember or care, but in your last blog about gold storing value vs stocks, I mentioned testing the divergent limits on the stock market against real GDP growth.
