Gold prices drop $50 in New York trading today.

Gold was $30-something in the 1960s, when crude-bbl was $3-something and
gasoline-gallon was $0.30-something. That's a neat 100:10:1.

Now gold is $1000-something, crude $100, and gasoline $3-something.
100:10:0.3.

So either gasoline is way underpriced, or gold and crude are way
overpriced. Let's hope it's the latter.

Interesting observation, Richard!
