Jim, the only gold company with records available was Homestake Mining. Roosevelt pegged the gold price at $35 an ounce but Homestake made its move long before that action occurred. I found a great article on it 5/20 on Gold Eagle website. The company went to $495 dollars a share in 1930 money value. It had 520% capital appreciation. 34% compounded yearly during the six depression years. Homestake paid out $128 in dividends. In 1935, the proxy paid out a $56 dividend per share- which represented 70% of the 1929 crash price of the stock! Santiago
