Dow to Gold Ratio: Where Is It Headed?

I submitted the article to my instablog with graphs and they vanished in the edit mode. I don't know why SA changed it as the graphs are still visible on my last DOW:Gold article here at SA: seekingalpha.com/artic...

I added the link to the original article with graphs after I submitted the instablog post with the edit feature. Do you find the original article easier to read with the graphs visible?

Is Dow 5,000 Possible?

Remember when the NASDAQ peaked... CNBC loved to have on fund managers like Kevin Landis (I think some of his funds went from $18 to $2...) now they have on perma bears....

I'd love to find out if Roubini was bearish for the past 20 years or was he a bull in the 1990s and turned bear sometime on the way up.

I like to report on what they are saying so I have a record of what they say years from now.

Is Dow 5,000 Possible?

One thing I've learned in 30 years of market observation is "prophets come and go." The longer they are on a hot streak, the more time they get to accumulate money to manage until they have a losing streak at the market timing game.

John Bogle says:

"The idea that a bell rings to signal when investors should get into or out of the stock market is simply not credible. After nearly fifty years in this business, I do not know of anybody who has done it successfully and consistently. I don't even know anybody who knows anybody who has done it successfully and consistently. Yet market timing appears to be increasingly embraced by mutual fund investors and the professional managers of fund portfolios alike. "

"Common Sense on Mutual Funds" pg 20

I joined Roubini's web site but can not find any model portfolios to show what he's advised people to do over the long term with their investments. I'd love to know how long he has been a bear and how well he's done with his money.

The Dow Priced in Ounces of Gold: Secular Bear Market Since '99

Good idea David. I updated the original article to add a chart of the Gold:Oil ratio. Both are priced in dollars so it makes for an interesting chart with the affect of a falling dollar removed.
