Comparison...... Just for fun...............................

If you look at the chart and look at the peak of $850 in 1974 to a peak of $1996 in Feb of 1980 then put as at a comparable position in the chart today (say late 1977) . All things being equal would mean that gold should explode to just under $3000 within a couple of years .
Of course this is just a lighthearted comparison , but hey you never know .
