But now the Dow is as good as gold.
That 1200 gold is coming at the expense of the euro, defying it's historical tie to the world's fiat currency, in effect makes the DOW the new gold standard

"2001 peak"--that's funny. And what about 1979 off the Hunt Bros. squeeze? Should we be getting ready act like it's 1979?
That chart does remind us that, at some level, houses are a hard-asset--one that will never fully shake the cloak of finance. Gold...

The median home price to gold ratio:
http://www.chartoftheday.com/20100423.htm?T
| Quote: | | Today's chart presents the median single-family home price divided by the price of one ounce of gold. This results in the home / gold ratio or the cost of the median single-family home in ounces of gold. For example, it currently takes 153 ounces of gold to buy the median single-family home. This is considerably less that the 601 ounces it took back in 2001. When priced in gold, the median single-family home is down 75% from its 2001 peak and remains well within the confines of its five-year accelerated downtrend. |

A chronicle/comparison of all "post-massive bear market rallies" since 1896, including the current one:
http://www.chartoftheday.com/20100416.htm?T
| Quote: | | Today's chart illustrates rallies that followed massive bear markets. For today's chart, a 'massive' bear market is defined as a decline of greater than 50%. Since the Dow's inception in 1896, there have been only three bear markets whereby the Dow declined more than 50% (early 1930s, late 1930s until early 1940s, and during the very recent financial crisis). Today's chart also adds the rally that followed the dot-com bust during which the Nasdaq declined 78%. One point of interest is that the current Dow rally has followed a path that is fairly similar to that of the Nasdaq rally that began in late 2002. It is also worth noting that each rally lasted from about 300 to 370 trading days and then moved into a trading range/choppy phase that lasted for a year or more. In the end, the current post-massive bear market rally is by no means atypical. |

But isn't that the way it should be? That was the Boomer's peak....and that should stand for something, generationally.
Throw that other "store of value," gold in with it.

Inflation-adjusted housing prices from 1970 to today:
http://www.chartoftheday.com/20100326.htm?T
| Quote: | | In fact, a home buyer who bought the median priced single-family home at the 1979 peak has actually seen that home lose value (4.3% loss). Not an impressive performance considering that over three decades have passed. It is worth noting that the median priced home has moved back to the top of a trading range that existed from the late 1970s into the mid-1990s. |

Updates the previous chart comparing the duration and magnitude of the current rally to other major rallies since 1900:
http://www.chartoftheday.com/20100319.htm?T
| Quote: | | The Dow continues to make new rally highs. To provide some perspective to the current Dow rally that began just over one year ago, all major market rallies of the last 110 years are plotted on today's chart. Each dot represents a major stock market rally as measured by the Dow. As today's chart illustrates, the Dow has begun a major rally 27 times over the past 110 years which equates to an average of one rally every four years. Also, most major rallies (73%) resulted in a gain of between 30% and 150% and lasted between 200 and 800 trading days -- highlighted in today's chart with a light blue shaded box. As it stands right now, the current Dow rally (hollow blue dot labeled you are here) has entered the low range of a "typical" rally and would currently be classified as both short in duration and below average in magnitude. |

http://www.chartoftheday.com/20091204.htm?T
| Quote: | | Today, the Labor Department reported that nonfarm payrolls (jobs) decreased by 11,000 in November -- the smallest decline since the recession began at the close of 2007. Today's chart puts that decline into perspective by comparing job losses during the current economic recession (solid red line) to that of the last recession (dashed gold line) and the average recession from 1950-2006 (dashed blue line). As today's chart illustrates, the current job market has suffered losses that are more than triple as much as what occurs at the lows of the average recession/job loss cycle. |
