Dan- I thought it was an interesting post, I have always been curious as to whether there was a relationship between XAU/gold one could use to time the market. Just throwing some quick nos. together from my DTN quote: date........XAU..........GOLD.........RATIO 7/86.......58.72 L.......342.50........(.1714 9/87......157.02 H.......465.30........(.3375) 12/88......83.79 L.......408.20........(.2053) 1/90......138.19 H.......422.00........(.3275) 11/92......64.38 L.......322.80........(.1934) 1/94......146.32 H.......397.80........(.3678) 1/95.......96.66 L.......372.00........(.2598) 2/96......155.60 H.......419.60........(.3708) 1/98.......61.23 L.......278.40........(.2199) Close to .2 seems to be a good place to look to buy, .32 or over look to sell. My DTN data is limited by the fact that I used a monthly chart and could only correlate monthly highs or lows in XAU/gold, not the exact day relationship, but it's close. Also, there's not enough data here (I'll try to do more research when I get time) to know if these ratios hold if XAU is not at a high or low. PR
