Message:: [QUOTE="justafarmer, post: 1840232, member: 3926"]Here is how Gold and Silver stack up against other commodities over the last 20 years Oilan ounce of gold buys 34% less nowan ouce of Silver buys 3% less now NatGasGold Buys 132% moreSilver Buys 241% more CornGold Buys 79% moreSilver Buys 164% more BeansGold buys 67% moreSilver buys 145% more WheatGold buys 83% moreSilver Buys 169% more CottonGold buys 143% moreSilver buys 257% more LumberGold buys 208% moreSilver Buys 352% more BeefGold Buys 140% moreSilver Buys 252% more PorkGold buys 148% moreSilver Buys 265% more CopperGold buys 19% moreSilver Buys 75% more AluminumGold Buys 163% moreSilver Buys 287% more HR SteelGold buys 88% moreSilver buys 258% more This has me leaning towards the opinion that other commodities in general have a sizeable upside or Gold and Silver still have a long drop ahead. I just don't believe the economic value and/or real demand of gold and silver have increased this much in relation to other commodities over the last 20 years. But keep in mind throughout all my years of farming - I have never hit the market perfect.[/QUOTE]
