    Solid comments, Craig!
    I think you’re correct about derivatives controlling price. Just like they did 10 plus years ago with oil. This could be the end game of that whole deal we are watching play out.
    I always knew that the price discovery was the derivatives. There was no supply/demand issues when oil hit 140$ back then.

    Gold is currently trading at 76 barrels of oil. The best it did in 2008 was 25 barrels. This is great news for the miners.

      I remember in 1980 oil was $50 and gold was $850, 17 bbls of oil for an oz of gold.
      Sounds like oil is cheap now.

        Mar 27, 2020 27:18 PM

        Back in 1980, we still had markets

        Mar 27, 2020 27:39 PM

        Bonzo, this is the cheapest oil has ever been. Based on the info I’ve been able to find, the peak in the 1930s was 52 barrels/oz in 1933 (and oil was cheaper then than at anytime before).

          Mar 27, 2020 27:44 PM

          Since 1933? When the dollar was backed by gold…? Hmm

            Mar 27, 2020 27:06 PM

            So? What is your point?

            Mar 27, 2020 27:09 PM

            Exactly

            Mar 27, 2020 27:10 PM

            Spit it out doofus, I can’t help you otherwise.

            Mar 27, 2020 27:17 PM

            Even slapped with the obvious stick (you can’t help). πŸ˜‚

            I can’t believe I have to point this out to you but there is exactly ZERO meaning to your little observation. Gold standard or no gold standard has precisely NOTHING to do with the gold-oil ratio.
            No wonder you’ve always reminded me of Phillip…

            Since you seem to be so hell bent about me being wrong (instead of you being right, like most of us want to be), here’s a few nuggets for ya.
            When the gold standard happens and gold falls to 1226 (and if closes below that on the weekly) and then goes to 1050. What are you going to do?
            Is your head gonna pop?

            You’ve dug-in real deep. And your about to find out, you’re way wrong.
            The funny thing is. I could send charts and explain (not that you’d get it tho) what is going on, but it’s people like you that make people like me keep you guessing.

            It’s becoming a sport, toying with you. And you do it to your self. Thanks for playing along.

            Mar 27, 2020 27:56 PM

            You’re speaking gibberish as usual. Why don’t you get back on topic and explain what the gold standard has to do with the gold-oil ratio? If you weren’t an imbecilic child, you’d want to explain to the good people here who also don’t have a clue what you are talking about. Make yourself useful for a change instead of dropping your silly little hints about your fantasies.

    How much money will Pelosi and McCarty make out of the Virus Bill……..??????

    It’s pretty clear now, with enough members here to pass the bill, that Pelosi and McCarthy are still working together to block a recorded vote just to insulate members of Congress from ACCOUNTABILITY.

      Politicians should not be allowed to own any stocks…………

        Mar 27, 2020 27:12 AM

        Yes indeed. Printing new money out of thin air so companies, governments and individuals already drowning in debt can borrow more money is the prescription for saving the economy! Free money for everybody!

            This could be planned.
            Its purpose could be to bring down the empire.

            There are only 2 ways it could happen, economically or war.

            War could end life on earth so this might be the lesser of evils.

            We must learn to trust our elites. πŸ˜‰

      Hey Jerry, what’s for dinner?

      I’d say all the pork you can eat….$2 trillion worth…and that’s probably just the beginning.

      Pork…it’s what’s for dinner…every night…when you live in bail out nation.
