(1) between 1982 and today, buying 1 troy oz of gold would have resulted in superior gain relative to one unit of DJIA and S&P500 and one barrel of crude for the years 1996 through 2007, and for the years 2014 through today (2) overall, a regular annual buy of gold for the years 1982 through today would result in 6.50X gain for gold, 8.59X for DJIA, 9.56X for S&P500, and 2.11X for crude (3) the associated annualised percentage gain averages to 4.56% Gold, 5.26% DJIA, and 5.52% S&P500 (4) as and when and if Gold rises 25% from current level to $4,000, and DJIA declines 20% to 32,090, and S&P500 declines 20% to 4,420, then ... (4-a) a regular annual buy of gold for the years 1982 through when-that-day comes would result in 7.83X gain for gold, 6.88X for DJIA, and 7.65X for S&P500 (4-b) the associated annualised percentage gain averages to 5.02% Gold, 4.70% DJIA, and 4.96% S&P500
(5) am guessing that there is a good possibility within 2025 that Gold rises 25%, and DJIA and S&P500 declines 20%, all from current levels
