The time period is really distorted, starting at the equity peak of the dotcom bubble and at the gold low, and ending in the late gold cycle of the post-2020 inflation phase.

@Yoshika There is a chart from the World Bank. 1970 - 2024. gold and S&P 500 perform the same. But while the S&P has only caught up in recent years (AI bubble?) Is that better then?

Like this? Let me see.

Probably just the price index.
In terms of total return, the S&P would be somewhere above the gold price. About a factor of 4.

I don't need to, because I know the figures.

No problem, there's always the laugh emoji for the really weak ones.

@Yoshika Glad you posted that. From 01.01.1998 (before the new market bubble) the S&P 500 still performs worse than gold ... 😉

In 1998, however, the party was already underway. The S&P had already multiplied in the previous years. And gold was at USD 290, the absolute low for almost 20 years.

In 1980, the price of gold was once around USD 850.
