Had Saturday lunch with son, who is excited about his account and its nice growth under my tutelage; he asked me to give him the story behind gold. Fifteen minutes later, he gets it. Tells me that, of course, it makes perfect sense, and cannot believe that older, smarter adults don't get it.

How about:

1) When DJIA: Gold < 1

and

2) When Shiller PE < 7?

At that point, historically, stocks are much better values than gold.

Caveat: history rhymes; doesn't repeat. The rhyme this time around could be very different, as you imply.
