<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kaparthy, post: 90859, member: 57463&quot;]You can find these if you look and if you nag me enough, I might dig out some that I have xeroxed and put in folders.&nbsp; Basically, these are of limited value.&nbsp; The constant production of new goods and services changes the price information.&nbsp; Maize (&quot;corn&quot;) and soy and peanuts are just part of the picture.&nbsp; Would you rather have 100 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, or a new Xbox?&nbsp;&nbsp; That said, gold has been remarkably stable.</p><p><br /></p><p>You note that silver is worth less than it was 120 years ago.&nbsp; You did not say that gold was worth more silver, though that is correct.&nbsp; You implicitly accepted the view that gold is the standard.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>That you accepted gold as the standard shows why this question is meaningless.&nbsp; The &quot;price&quot; of gold is &quot;supported&quot; by its rarity, its divisibilty, its durability, its ductility,&nbsp; and its identifiablity, as well as its luster and charm.&nbsp; Gold is the standard.&nbsp; It needs no support.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
