Who cares even if gold is not available and completely disappeared from the global markets. But I hope and pray to God please don't do the same for the food because people can't survive without it.

Gold cannot be used as a food stuff while keeping in mind with 100 percent surity that food prices will go higher much more than gold's prices in comming years. People can survive without gold but not without food. Gold ‘s price hike is artificial and soon it’s going to fall like a person falls from a ledder.

Having lost $1800 in a bank run recently (forgoing all my interest as a penalty for withdrawing my money out quickly).... I do have my own reasons for considering gold cheap at current prices. Certainly having gold at this price is cheaper and superior than seeing my money disappear in a bank which could fails overnight.

Here's one way of looking at gold. An ounce of gold would buy a fine tailored suit in the days when Shakespear lived, and should be able to do the same today in our age... and in all future years, as gold's role of being a constant store of wealth. You can trade the spikes for profits but to me it's a store of wealth. I’m not anti your article – I enjoy reading all kinds of analysis including yours.

Even if your calculations are correct with $2,400 being the equivilent of the $850 gold price at it's highest in 1980..... $2400 would make it very overpriced in todays money as it was in 1980. If it was a constant from 1980 then maybe so... to suggest gold should be trading at $2400 based on one short spike... when compared to 3000 years of gold price.... can you see what I'm getting at?
