You are wrong, and you don't even have to fudge a decimal point this time - the REAL prices of such things have went up more than gold, quit relying on corrupt mugabenomic funny official stats for your calculations. That is like saying that the OFFICIAL numbers put out by the US gubbment are true, and all those revisions months and years later they do are just crap and calculated risk is just spreading sillyness!
General, play with the start and end dates all you want, that is what moo does too. Picking ONE point, and then I have to do 1, 3, 5, and 10 years history to show why he is silly. I provided you with a computer algorithm that beat GOLD in many other sectors and you make no comment towards it, you make no comment towards Russ Winters decision to sell gold, you make no comment to fisherman using eels in socialist countries to get a car - you are like a one trick pony - be more versatile.

Compare the REAL price that must be paid on the black market - not the official mugabenomics price and give me your numbers and I will look at them and let you make your case to me and keep an open mind.

In recent months, in an effort to curb rampant inflation the government denied requests by state water and power utilities to dramatically increase their charges
But daily water and electricity outages forced officials to back down.
Further increases are expected to be announced soon.
Government price controls on commodities, including bread, cooking oil, sugar and gasoline, have led to shortages and a thriving black market for the goods.
The National Bakers' Association said Tuesday the government refused its pleas to double the price of a regular loaf to more than 500 Zimbabwe dollars ($2). It said the main bakeries were using cheaper packaging and had stopped slicing loaves to save money.
It said many smaller bakeries had already gone out of business and bread would likely disappear from the shelves altogether in coming months if a price increase was not permitted.
Zimbabwe is suffering its worst economic crisis since independence in 1980, blamed largely on disruptions in the agriculture-based economy since President Robert Mugabe launched an often violent campaign to seize thousands of white-owned commercial farms in 2000.
The International Monetary Fund has forecast official inflation could reach more than 4,000 percent in Zimbabwe next year without urgent economic reforms being put in place.
IF you have a TON of gold, but there is no BREAD to buy with it - what exactly is the PRICE of BREAD - how many gold coins can you trade for bread? Your entire HOARD of gold will be worthless for bread eh - as there will be no bread eh?
Answer me General - who wins between the tank and the kid throwing the gold coin? Allocation of scarce resources - who gets the bread? hehe And if there is no bread left, how does having gold get you bread? Below the guy in the tank tells the guy with the gold coin to slave away and make some bread or get his head blown off - not the other way around - understand?
