Now, if you look at how much gold trades for a fixed amount of dollars then suddenly it's the currency that looks constant compared to the metal. In real life what we really need is stuff like food, clothing, energy, and if we compare a typical basket mix of stuff people actually use to either metals and dollars, it's the dollars that are stable and the metals is what jumps all over the place.

Yep, that gold is just bouncing all over the place. Bouncing up is more like it. For the last 10 years. Mirror image of the dollar falling.

LOL, sounds like a buddy of mine that was buying real estate four years ago.
