Enhhhh.... I guess that could be argued but in reality the government re-valued Gold and it stayed at that same value for nearly 40 years. Since the re-valuing took place post confiscation of Gold from US citizens, individual investors were generally unable to profit. It has only been since 1971 that Gold has fluctuated in price like other investments and individual investors have been able to profit during times of appreciation.
So I can't use a chart that shows how rock steady gold was for 133 years and it's not fair to show that gold spiked 69% in 1934? And I can't use charts that start in 1980? Lots of rules with you gold investors.
