<Were there the information for you to take those charts & overlay true demand and world population , a tool might have been created. > I have to start somewhere ! World population: 1.5B to 6B today, +300% Gold inventory: 30mt to 145mt, +383% Per capita: .65 ounces to .78 ounces, +21% <btw Have you questioned correctness / quality of data? > USGS data, which is pretty high quality. <Wouldn't you also have suspected a more similar reduction in production during 1914-1918 as 1939-1945 and far less similar 1970-1975? > US government forced gold mines to close during WWII (and many never reopened), while no such thing happened during WWI.
