Long, I'm just going by the charts. The Gold trading box below $730 extends historically either to $453 (1980) or $542 (2006). I'm just taking the higher of the two historic trading boxes. Check a Gold chart going back to 1980 and you'll see what I mean. Here's a link to a whole bunch of historical charts you may like: chartsrus.com To get the Dow/Gold ratio you're talking about would mean either we're going to have 10-15% inflation or another Great Depression, which are the only times the ratio got as low as you're looking for.
