What Gold Is Telling Us About Stocks & What We Should Do As a Result

If you believe, as I do, that gold is a solid way to “price” other assets because of its characteristics of being rare and stable in quantity – then the simplest way to profit from this trend is to wait for it to reverse – and when it turns around, sell gold and buy stocks.

So says Kevin McElroy (www.wyattresearch.com) in edited excerpts from his original article* entitled A Shocking Truth that Gold Can Tell Us about Stocks.

McElroy goes on to say, in part:

…Very little gold gets mined every year, at least in comparison to the “above-ground” supply, so it’s a stable gauge for measuring the price of nearly anything else. It’s like a ruler that stays about the same length – while everything else shrinks and grows at much faster rates of change….

Unlike gold, the amount of stocks and the value of each stock can change massively from one year to the next but, conversely, there’s about the same amount of gold today as there was 90 years ago. A little more, but not much, so forget about the dollar as a way to measure and account for stocks. The dollar is like a ruler that shrinks 2-5% every year on average – so at best, it’s useful for a few months at a time as a true gauge. At worst, you shouldn’t trust it at all.

Right now, gold is telling us one thing about stocks – namely that they’re getting cheaper by the year.

You can see from the  chart above that, priced in gold, stocks are as cheap as they were in the early 1990s – and also that stocks are in a strongly sustained down trend. In essence, every ounce of gold buys about 7 units of the DOW and, according to this ratio, we might expect stocks to resume an uptrend once the ratio gets below 5.

If you believe (as I do) that gold is a solid way to “price” other assets because of its characteristics of being rare and stable in quantity – then the simplest way to profit from this trend is to wait for it to reverse – and when it turns around, sell gold and buy stocks. I know this “plan” is easier said than done but the only quantity that’s significantly rarer than gold in this market is patience.

Conclusion

Therefore, if you have the patience to wait for this trend to play out, I believe you’ll maximize your gains in gold, and you’ll be able to buy stocks at multi-decade low prices. It’s what I plan to do.

[According to the chart in this article,] all currencies are being debauched. The price of gold in each currency approximates a parabola, meaning the use of printing presses is accelerating.

4. GOLD: The Currency Without a Printing Press

gold and currencies

When it comes to investing in gold, investors often see the world in black and white. Some people have a deep, almost religious conviction that gold is a useless, barbarous relic with no yield and an asset no rational investor would ever want. Others love it, seeing it as the only asset that can offer protection from the coming financial catastrophe, which is always just around the corner. Our views are more nuanced and, we believe, provide a balanced framework for assessing value. Our bottom line: given current valuations and central bank policies, we see gold as a compelling inflation hedge and store of value that is potentially superior to fiat currencies.

5. James Turk: Why Gold is Preferred to National Currencies

Some say that the gold price rises and falls, but they are grabbing the wrong end of the stick. It is the purchasing power of national currencies that rise and fall. Here is an analogy to make this point clear. When standing in a boat and looking at the shore, it is the boat (currencies) – and not the land (gold) – that is bobbing up and down.

Several years, ago, the very savvy Richard Russell stated that the investment times were changing.  He said that with huge debts everywhere, cash flow would be the most important issue for everybody going forward- for business, for investment, and for everyday life.  He said that it was no longer a game of “Return on Capital”, but a need for “Return of Capital.”  What Richard was saying was that good and consistent investment and income gains would be more difficult for a decade, or so, and that just keeping the same value of one’s savings would be an important goal.

The concept of “value” is extremely important, especially when Dollars are being printed aggressively.  This is because the value of your Dollars is falling.  Most people look at a Dollar and see a Dollar.  They don’t understand that the worth of a Dollar can fall dramatically in times like today.
