Thanks shades.

<The chart below of "Real Interest Rates" (1969-2005) shows that real rates went negative for the seven years 1974-1980, hitting a low of -3.3% in 1975.>

I need a basic lesson here I think. We know gold went up in this period.
If rates are negative does that mean you earn over the rate of inflation?

Are we there now? If so a good time for gold. If not a bad time for gold?

All answers appreciated.
