Dow to Gold Ratio: Where Is It Headed?

This might just be the worst article I have read on SA. Lots of repetitiveness, lots of references to graphs and charts which are not inline. Almost impossible to read coherently.

How Will Gold Perform in the Coming Equity Crash?

This article makes a lot of sense and raises some interesting thoughts. I have been thinking along similar lines and have not yet decided what to think. My gut feeling is that the physical stuff will hold up well, increasing steadily but with a relatively high volatility. The stocks, on the other hand, are a different issue. Whether they will sink with the ship or rise above because of increased leverage is a question which only time will answer. But I do think that a wide selection of juniors with suitable stop loss orders is likely to produce the best return over the next couple of years.

What circles do you move in? I am not aware of a single person I know who has filed bankruptcy. I am sure that are some and I just don't know it, but to say "most" seems a little excessive.

I have to agree with the other comments that "gold $5000 by 2016" does seems to designed to create panic. Panic, that is, in gold bugs who hope for it to get there much early.

Dow 3700, $3,500 Gold, $300 Oil - Enough Already

Anyone who says these things are impossible is basically in the same position as those who you criticize. One thing we should all have learned in the last 18 months is that anything is possible. That anything is probably is another issue. But I don't think you have any more right to make the claims you do than the people making the claims in the title.

The claims of $300 oil, $3500 gold and 3700 are not one-offs. I have seen many people claim close to these numbers. And they back up their arguments with sound reasoning. I didn't always agree with their reasons, but at least they had them. Which is a whole lot more than you have. All you are doing is trying to create a sensational article to try to get people to click on it.

(And no, the title did not get me to click. The fact that it popped up under GLD is why I clicked.)

Some Bank Behemoths Now Sub-Single Digit Midgets

Your DOW to gold ratio of 5-6 is looking very high to me. Has anyone calculated the change in the C-to-gold or BAC-to-gold ratio? One thing I find amazing is that the highest open interest for BAC August calls is for a strike price of $10, priced at $0.36 There must be some real optimists out there.

Dow-to-Gold Ratio Continues to Plunge

It may be below the green zone but if you join the lows of 1840 and 1980 you get to a current ratio of about 2. Why, perhaps not coincidentally, is what a number of writeers have been predicting this time around.
