<p>[QUOTE="InfleXion, post: 1369927, member: 29012"]They have a relationship because they are both stores of value that people use as investment vehicles. You could compare avocados and toothpicks if you wanted to. The relevancy depends on what a person places value in. If you don't value gold then the DOW/gold ratio probably won't matter much to you, but the numbers are what they are, and the trend is clear. Until it reverses and defies history I will use that as a guide. In all honesty I don't care why they have a relationship, merely that there is a historical perspective between them for me to examine. Anybody may feel free to give it as much or as little merit as they see fit. I would add that it has been historically consistent for thousands of years up until the Bretton Woods agreement for everything to be priced in terms of how many ounces of gold it costs, so for that reason alone the ratio of anything to gold is relevant from a valuation standpoint.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
