It's not that much different than in 1980.

Huh? Gold was $680 in 1980 and we WEREN'T in a DEPRESSION. It hasn't
been $680/oz since Aug 2007, even at the crash.
But, I keep reading the alarming concerns of "hyperinflation depression"
in the financial news, even overseas. A $20 loaf of bread during a
depression with millions out of work....that IS a disaster!
I'm invested with Rhodium, here. It's up from my $740/oz starting price
to $1050 this week. It's history is stunning topping out at $10,100/oz
just before the crash.....(c;]
Uhmmm....Jan 21, 1980: $850.00/oz, Nov 13, 2008: $713.50/oz. Yes, both
were spikes, but that's the problem with generalizations. I remember the
1st spike clearly - my birthday, and had just paid off wedding bands
purchased when gold was $500/oz cheaper!

I don't recall the date, but I know some time ago, it had reached the
$1000/oz price or close.
