I actually find myself long more and more selected stuff outside of gold, since this bear has beaten some equities way, way down, so they became like long term call options. If one of them does not go BK, I'll be fine on these positions and make some money long term. Dow/gold ratio of 10 (and spoos/gold of 1) is actually long term neutral. It means that very long term appreciation of stocks should be equal to gold. Of course, that ratio has been much lower in the past, and will likely see that again. In general, DOW/gold ratio in single digits means we have entered a period when stocks are cheap relative to gold, but that period usually lasts a few years to a decade. -g-
