If You Bought Gold in 2007 You’re 50% Richer

More bullish talk about gold from Brian Hunt in DailyWealth. Brian uses what he calls the gold/hog ratio – a measure of gold versus consumer purchases – to show how gold has seriously outperformed consumer stocks…
Around Thanksgiving last year, we presented one of our favorite measures of real assets vs. landfill stuffing: the gold-hog ratio.
This ratio measures the performance of hard assets (represented by gold) vs. consumer “stuff” that will end up in a landfill someday (represented by the share price of Harley-Davidson, ticker: HOG)…
Back then, the gold-hog ratio was 17 and rising in favor of gold. Now, that ratio is around 26. Gold is climbing as investors flee to real assets, and HOG is falling as consumers flee from expensive toys.
If you bought gold at the start of 2007, you’re 50% richer. If you bought HOG shares at the start
of 2007, you’re 45% poorer. Right now, folks are much more likely to buy real assets than a motorcycle.
