If you watch the markets then you will see that gold, silver, oil, commodities and other tangible assets tend to rise together, they’re contra-cyclical to paper financial assets for 2/3 of a cycle. When stocks are doing well, then gold prices don’t move and when stocks are flat to negative on their rate of return in other asset classes, gold performs very well. People tend to step back from other financial assets and say, until the risk reward relationship is fair and even, I’d rather protect than speculate. That’s why, for 2/3 of the business cycle it is contra-cyclical.
Gold rose roughly 158% in the last six years, silver went up about 246% and while the Dollar fell 32%, up went gold stock by 300%. Compare the the Dollar today to the Dollar in 1870 and it is only worth 1cent and compared to the Dollar in 1919 it is only worth 2cent and the largest drop in the Dollar, since it has been unhinged from gold, has been since the 1970′s. There has been a long term decline of the Dollar since the birth of the Federal Reserve in 1913, ending over 100 years of Dollar price stability. The US is now running a total annual budget and trade deficits exceeding $1.5 trillion Dollars and the Federal Reserve is creating annually $1-2 trillion Dollar liquidity out of nothing which has a massive effect on things like the DOW JONES INDUSTRIAL AVERAGE, the DOWN JONES TRANSPORTATION AVERAGE and the DOW JONES UTILITY AVERAGE which have all been moving well since 2001 -2002 however, when you divide their price performance by the gold price, which I believe is real money, you have downward trends in all three averages of the DOW JONES.
