I made these charts a while back because I could not find them online. I don't doubt there is still room to undershoot the long term trend line. What these don't show is price or gold vs. land/plot size which might show something different. Considering that we are definitely working more today than 30 years ago I think this shows a cheap dollar with a lot of downside ahead of it.

Buffett Says Avoid Long-Term Bonds Tied to Eroding Dollar: Warren Buffett, the billionaire who urged Congress in 2009 to guard against inflation, said investors should avoid long-term fixed-income bets in U.S. dollars because the currency’s purchasing power will decline. “I would recommend against buying long-term fixed-dollar investments,” Buffett, chairman and chief executive officer of Berkshire Hathaway Inc., said today in New Delhi. “If you ask me if the U.S. dollar is going to hold its purchasing power fully at the level of 2011, 5 years, 10 years or 20 years from now, I would tell you it will not.” noir.bloomberg.com
