Dow/gold ratio declined from 43 in 1999 to 7 in 2009. During
that time gold quadrupled, gold stocks increased 10-fold,
while the DOW was cut in half. Is 10 years long term? Nikkei
declined from 38000 in 1989 to 8000 in 2009. Is 20 years
long term? The bottom of DOW/gold ratio was around 1 or 2
in the past century. Thus, one has to conclude, only the
dividends in the DOW correspond to real long term return.
P.S. The DOW/gold ratio is currently at 7, lower than where
it was when I was born. Is that long term? <g>
