Searle, Thanks for the very interesting stockchart charts - so much info at our fingertips and still as confused as ever - at least I am. (As Hayek said, “The curious task of economics is to demonstrate to men how little they really know about what they imagine they can design.”)

I agree with your thought about gold having no life apart from being a commodity. But question if you have to amend your statement 'inflation, as judged by the CRB Index of commodity prices, has been pretty steady for many years' with the phrase 'so far'. Isn't it possible (and probable) that the value of commodities relative to USDs does not adjust real time but can have significant lags, thereby miscommunicating actual inflation? And that a unique confluence of events regarding the USD's role as the world's reserve currency and the desire of certain countries desire to protect their export economies has added to this problem?
