Why are you going backwards in the discussion? You are comparing two floating values. It makes more sense to compare real changes because then you know the actual change (minus computing error).
A small correction on my explanation of the red line in the graph from earlier (although you probably won't care because I feel like you still don't understand the graph hence your regression to nominal arguments- again): the red line is actually gold vs. the changing commodities index with 100 on the right side being the value in 2000 at t=0. A graph using the commodities index at t=0 throughout vs. gold would be the same as the USD oneThis does not affect my arguments or weaken them as I was not using the red line graph (was using the USD one).
Your aguments make no sence what so ever. The dollar is mor stable than gold, so the value of gold (in dollars) sky rockets. Meaning inflation of gold skyrockets, but reality check states that gold has deflated. Being that an ounce of gold has just a little more buying power now then it once did.
I dont need a graph to know 1400 dollars from 40 dollars is a huge diffirence. Stop posting it, it is not relavant
