Some perspective.
Gold hit a high of 850 in 1980, the DJIA hit 903 the same year.
Fast forward 37 years and we see that gold appreciated by 35%, while the DJIA went up by 2100%.
Just keeping it all in perspective!!!
That was one to one ratio ratio in 1980. Gold bugs are still waiting for repeat of that to happen again. Stay tune!!!
Now if you go back Dow traded below 1000 from 1965 to 1980. But gold went up from $35 in 1966 to $850 in 1980.
From 1966 to today DOW went up 2100% (your number).
From 1966 to today gold went up $ 35 to 1160. That is 3300%.
I did not factor in dividends. I’ll bet if we do the stocks come out on top.
