What does $90 oil mean for gold?
*Dow Theory Letters, Richard Russell, October 18, 2007:
"Since 1968, on average, one ounce of gold would buy 15-16 barrels
of oil. Not so, today. The chart below traces the oil-to-gold
relationship, and you can see that the relationship has become
out-of-whack. Back in 1999 an ounce of gold would buy almost 28 barrels
of oil. Then in August, 2005, the relationship plunged and an ounce of
gold would buy just 6.3 barrels of oil. Today an ounce of gold will buy
8.6 barrels of oil.
Today, gold is cheap compared with oil. If the relationship was to go
the average since 1968, the price of gold would be nearer to 1500.
That's not likely to happen, but the fact is that gold today is still
cheap, too cheap. For any number of reasons, I continue to buy gold."
