<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 311640, member: 3011&quot;]The easy ones that come to mind are oil rising from $2 in the 1970s.&nbsp; A lot of people probably thought that $4 per barrel was unsustainable, but that didn&#039;t turn out to be the case.&nbsp; Silver rose from something like $1.35, and a triple digit gain to $2.70 turned out to be sustainable.&nbsp; Gold also, up from $35.&nbsp; The stock market in the 80s rose from 8xx on the DJIA.&nbsp; I&#039;m sure there are countless other examples.&nbsp; In a world of continuous monetary inflation, all prices will eventually appear low.&nbsp; Coin collectors have a blind spot in that prices were cyclical for two decades as the rest of the world inflated.&nbsp; But now price levels for silver and gold and therefore coins are playing catch up with the rest of the world and probably won&#039;t go back to the old levels in the lifetime of CoinTalk members.&nbsp; Like all forecasts, this could turn out to be wrong, but it seems like a high probability bet to me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
