Hi all,
Just picked up this somewhere.

The Dow/Gold Ratio
Below is a long-term chart of the Dow/Gold ratio. The source of the chart is
Fred's Intelligent Bear Site ( <A

There are a couple of things worth noting with regard to this chart.
Firstly, the ratio moves in a well-defined channel (although it did overshoot
on the downside in 1980). Secondly, each of the prior two occasions on which
the channel top was reached was followed by a decline to the channel bottom.
If the same thing happens this time, the Dow/Gold ratio will drop to about 5:1
over the next several years.
The chart doesn't tell us anything about the next 12 months, but does
strongly suggest that July-1999 represented a long-term high in the Dow/Gold
ratio (July of 1999 most likely gave us the secular peak for the Dow in terms
of hard money, although it went on to achieve higher levels in terms of US
Dollars). This means that the major trend has most likely reversed lower and
that gold bulls, having spent 20 years on the wrong side of a major trend, are
now on the right side.
