The Dow Jones Industrial Average dipped below 8:1 recently. During the Great Depression, the ratio dropped to 2:1, and plummeted to its all-time low of 1:1 in 1980, when gold peaked around $850/oz.
The DJIA is currently at 12,375. The price of gold is $1,607. Draw your own conclusions.
Some of our best ideas come to us during the most inopportune times: waking up, in the shower, driving along a country road...my blog is an attempt to capture these epiphanies, whether whimsical or serious in nature. These blogs are heavily weighted toward financial matters and/or innovation (e.g. disruptive technology)--normally boring subject matter. But when sprinkled in with meanderings about human nature, I hope to shed some light on oft-misunderstood topics--without being dogmatic. Enjoy and perhaps learn a thing or two from my moments of clarity.
