  • Excellent video, very clear and to the point. Thanks for the post!!!

  • congratulations

  • This is just pissing me off!

  • Valuable information, thanks

  • how bout the decline in the value of the currency at which it is valued? the dollar has lost 50 percent since 2003...so even though the dow rallied during that time the real increase was NOTHING...and now you have lost that NOTHING gain and half the remaining value because your DOLLAR is becoming worthless...inspite of the proped up rally in recent WEEKS after 5 years of declining value...

  • I'm writing this a few seconds into this video. The Dow has not moved since 1913. It has not gone up a single point. But, the tool with which we measure the dow has significantly dropped. See if you measure a yard in inches you get 36 inches, but if you measure it in centimeters (which are shorter than inches for you stupid Americans) you get more centimeters to the yard an there's your Dow Jones illusion. It's only at about 300 points, people. You're trading lies and hidden taxes.

  • Totally right... NO ONE HAS EVER TOLD THIS BEFORE ANY EASIER... the backing of this TRUTH is supported by serious research about economics, social behaviour, the games and "failures" of capitalism..., money laundering, and inevitably some of the true substrate of some of the well known conspiracy theories... STOCKS ARE AN EVIL PERVERSION OF THE CAPITALIST SYSTEM... do not play the game anymore...!

  • The dollar lost 40% of it's value against the Euro from 2008 to 2007.My 401K gained 18% in dollars but lost 40% of it's value against the Mercedes Benz I wanted to buy when I retired.

  • Very good video.

  • Good video for the newb or as you mention and the end friends/family that just don't "get it"

    Keep up the good work.

  • The average American idiot could never understand it. This video is very accurate. If most people can't understand it good. You can just go buy the precious metals and benefit. Housing will drop further, and commodities will go up and up. When this happens, people will have less money to spend because of inflation. If you buy precious metals and commodities, your investments will keep up with inflation. In a few years, you will be able to buy property for pennies on the dollar.

  • Nice !!

  • I am American, and I think this message needs to be said about the intelligence of our general population. Generally, the bulk of our population isn't very intelligent at all. Life is made easy for them, because the country, however on the fall, is still a great country. The message I need to convey to any non-americans who are reading this is that while we may be full of idiots, it is balanced out by the torch-holding Americans, who are some of the smartest people on the planet, however few.

  • Beautiful. *wipes tear from eye* *sniffles*

  • We are being played. Me being one. Let me tell my sad storey. Came out of 30 years in the woods to take care of my ageing mother. got an investment advisor, told me to go into stocks and bonds. Did so and was eaten by wolves. I don't know what his agenda is, but I do know now that it was not in our best interests. Be your own guide is what I learned. this video speaks the truth.

  • ehswan - they have a very special duty to protect your interests

    If they grossly fail, then I would bring your case to an attorney who specializes in these scams

    I'm filing a case for someone who was advised to put their retirement funds into an annuity

  • A great educational tool. However, the average

    joe on the street is now to dumb, and they are

    easily fooled by the propaganda of the mass media, whom job is not telling the truth.

  • You are correct, the average Joe is too dumb now, thanks in large part to 5-6 hours a days of brainwashing in front of the TV. I turned mine off over a year ago and couldn't miss it less!

  • Here are some good tools for determing the value of the dollar for comparison purposes.

    ww w. measuringworth. com/index. html

    Just remove the spaces in the addresses. Also look at the historical value chart of gold at Kitco dot com or someplace prior to the FED making our money and see that Gold value is steady. Gold will not decrease or increase your wealth. It is a distraction. Look at silver. It looks to me like that is what we want to invest it. Good luck fellow human beings.

  • This video is absolutely correct. My only critism is the future is unknown and in 2010 Gold could begin a decline in real value compared to the Dow. Also, it only applies to Long Term Hold. If you traded in and out of individual stocks, you would've killed all other possible equal risk investment returns.(Assuming you bought and sold at the right time or even near the right time.)

  • Gold could begin to decline in real value compared to the Dow? If real value is purchasing power, then there is no reason to think that will ever happen. Gold has had the same purchasing power throughout history and is stable. It preserves wealth and is a good tool for value comparison. The value of Gold does not fluctuate, but silver does. I believe silver can be a real wealth maker in that its price will increase faster than the dollars's value will decrease.

  • The value of gold does not fluctuate unless it is compared to a currency that does. An ounce of gold has always purchased the same amount of goods or services throughout history. Gold will preserve your wealth. It will not increase it or decrease it.

  • in a way yous are right about gold but anytime the markets crash or recession looms people will invest in gold because it is stable, giving it a small fluxuation

  • Well today was another down day for the DOW. It was down over 450 points but recovered to close DOWn only 128.11 for the day.

    It is now below 12,000. People who bought gold like me are happy to be out.Yesterday the news was that profits were way down at Wachovia 95% and Bank of America 98%.

  • The best investments for the comming years will be the US Dollar, in commodities may be corn and Middle East and Russia equities.

    One or two years latter you can say if I was wrong. ;)

    Of course the best sellings or short in the comming years will be the Euro, Gold (Demmocrats will return to the helm this year) more peace (I hope), oil, and soybeans related to and slowdown in the global economy.

    Regards.

  • How come my bak invests heavily in Chinese stocks while they're trying to sell me everything BUT!? Buy Yuan or Gold but preferably silver, i'm just a bit afraid the gold will get confiscated by state eventually or just get me robbed while silver(will attain value of gold today!) will be more everyday methinks.. ;D

  • Time to buy Gold and Silver my friends!

  • thankyou for this video..I WILL SPREAD THE WORD.........

  • Gold continues to go up. Both the dollar and the dow go DOWN!

  • I've only met a handfull of people who understand the concept of real value in relation to the down jones...or to anything for that matter. Well done. I'll be sending this out in emails.

  • Great video, could you do one on the treasury yield curve. I believe many of us do not understand though we hear it all the time on the financial news.

  • Thanks for keeping it simple! it's called inflation, which most people can't understand, because they make it so complicated.. great vid.

  • great vid!

  • thanks.

  • This is an excellent analysis of the dollar/gold/Dow ratio and the only conclusion one can draw is that we are in a stealth bear market which began in 2000. Social and political events testify to this: terrorism, war, torture, insecurity - these are the fruits of a global bear market. The tranquility and abundance of the 1990's is behind us.

  • srm2k. We agree and hope that you spread the video to help educate others.

  • This video had been viewed on google video nearly 11,000 times before the viewing counter on the google site reset. We should have embeded this video on our website from Youtube. Help spread the word and share this message with your friends. Help get the message out.

  • I like these videos. I'd love to see more of your investment, "opinions." ;')

  • Has it become clear enough yet that Federal Reserve practices are helping bring about one of the policy issues for the North American Union and its planned currency, the Amero?

    One world corporatist controlled-economy government, here we come!

  • The Fed is a bank, and banks protect their interests. Even if they are the front office for the world's elite, they will not intentionally take a bath (plunging bond values) for anyone. Precisely why they kept interest rates high on their pristine debt assets throughout the great depression. Dollar based U.S treasury bonds are losing value even at current rates. Anything more than a token rate decrease would start a fire sale on the bond market.

  • This is great! Thanks so much! Very well done. Easy to understand.

  • How true. I believe that gold will continue to surge as the dollar declines.

  • I dón´t need gold. I need dolar. And the stock market give me to me DOLAR!!!!

  • marcusmartins1974. When you hold stocks, you own stocks that are priced in dollars. When you own gold, you own gold that is priced in dollars. The question is, which one will be worth more dollars when you go to cash it in?

  • You can sell gold for any currency, it's price my change put it's purching power or value holds strong

  • Look at the long term charts for Dow Jones. The spike to 13000 is steep and high. The index should be between 3000 and 4000, and that is where it is headed.

  • basically, we're going to have a 25-30% crash with a 20-25% crash of the dollar.

  • just completely incorrect. More technology is available at lower prices in the same currency which means the value of your money goes up proportional to the quality of live you can have.

  • danielder, More technology may be available at lower prices but arguably due to the technology cycle and lower production costs in countries like China and India. Technology may be cheaper but what about oil, lumber, homes, food, gas, power, metals, foreign currencies, etc. In our opinion, the average person in North America would argue that their cost of living is increasing and not decreasing. We believe that it is arguably becoming harder (continued on next post...)

  • (danielder reply continued...) for the average person to make ends meet, not easier. In our opinion less purchasing power from a currency results in less wealth for the average person and the benefits of technology do not offset this difference. Since 2000 has technology really increased the average person's quality of life that significantly? It could be argued that new problems to trouble shoot, fix, and learn how to use new technology has taken away from free time in the past seven years.

  • Thank you killer 2021. Please help spread the message to others.

  • Well said. It is amazing how many people (including those big shots on CNN/Bloomberg) lack this very basic economic understanding.

  • Yeh...Do the same analysis from 1960-2007

    Or from 2002-2007 and the value of the dow shows a different picture. This analogy only makes sense from the time period used.

  • Glazballs, In our opinion most investors do not have a 47 year investment timeframe and we believe that from 02-07 US stocks have underperformed most assets. This is demonstrated in the video. We do not believe any asset class is superior to another as we believe each asset class is cyclical. At this time we think US stocks are weak yet their poor performance is masked by the falling purchasing power of the dollar. (comment continues on next post...)

  • (...continued from above post) We believe this "analogy" works during times of inflation such as 1970 -- 1980, 2000 -- 2007, and even 2002 -- 2007. We think it will only become more obvious going forward. Thank you for your comment.

  • As someone pointed out to me, the stock market with the best nominal gains last year was Zimbabwe at + 500%, but it had an inflation rate of 1500%.

  • luv it!
