The DOW moves back above 10,000…..

Problem is that its measured in dollars…so if you factor in the rate of money creation and assume that affects buying power you get a DOW thats worth about 5000 in buying power.

When measured against gold however, it looks more like this:

DOW / GOLD Ratio Chart - 10 Yr

That tiny little uptick is what all the Wall St cheerleaders are excited about.

If history repeats and the DOW and Gold meet at a 1:1 ratio at the top of golds run up, and the DOW keeps rising (due to inflated dollars more than anything else) , then where is that meeting point going to be? Maybe these guys calling for a 20,000 DOW are right…but what also does that mean for gold? What also would that mean for the buying power of the dollar?

To me that looks like a buying opportunity in a major trend.
