I think that, 5 years from now, the ratio will be lower still.

Peter,

Isn’t it possible the gold has been king because it just didn’t go up as much as many other met commodities? Instead of saying gold indicates inflation or holds up during bad times we could simply say the reason it went down less is because it went up less.

Gold increased by 300% from 1999-2008, silver rose 430%, platinum 577%, uranium 1744%, oil went up 1300%.
