even in current dollars gold was at 1910 last year and is 1747 today.
I assume you are questioning the gold comment not the oil.
according to CPI data ; 1$ in 1980 = 3.57$ today so 850 (1980 high, highest price of gold before last year) X 3.57=3034.50.
please share your reasoning.

Ronnie, Turbodan sounds irritated by your comments.
My guess is he is going to challenge you to a race, 993 TT vs 993 TT,
should be epic.

Where, at Mosport of course

My garage queen will never even see the dusty infield at Mosport again!......but I am shopping for a daily driver/autocross/DE/rally 993 NA to suppliment my "Black Beauty". I am negotiating a deal as I type. Danny, does your data not show that gold has not kept up with inflation over that period and is therefore not a good long term investment? I bet if you look at more recent time series over the last 10 years, gold has appreciated way over CPI and I think is very highly priced so there is way more downside risk than upside...... a bubble me thinks.

so it looks like you are taking this statement back?

over the last 20 years it has not been a great investment. The last 10 years it has. however I think the equities markets (with the exception of Apple) has much greater downside presently especially the ones trading in Bernake dollars (increasing supply of 40 billion per month!). Gold will never go to zero. The rest of the world doesn;t look great either Europe, PIIGS, England, Japan all major recessions now or coming soon. Better protect yourself.
