The price of gold and silver in dollars swing. The value of gold and silver does not swing wildly. Maybe we should chart the price of dollars in grams of gold and silver.

value of gold and silver does not swing wildly

That depends on whether you're talking some kind of philosophical spiritual wealth or you're making market trades.   This is the price of gold in oz. of silver--

--and it's ranged from 15 oz. to 100 oz. silver per oz. gold with far more volatility than we've seen with dollars..
