Prices could correct in 2 ways
1) asset prices go down
2) the dollar goes down, asset prices stay flat.
(stagflation of the 70-s)

In 2000-2002 the former occurred, while since 2005 the latter
was happening. Either way, the Dow/gold ratio should come
down to about 1-2 before the secular bear ends. Despite
the new high for the DOW, DOW/gold ratio is down 60% from
43 in 2000. Thus, all of the secular decline so far occurred via
currency debasement.In a competitive debasement (lately)
gold soars in all currencies. I think stagflation again is
very likely - low growth, high inflation. The Fed then can't do
anything. Gold makes sense as a long-term investment, even though
if US goes into recession soon (likely), it could drop significantly.
