Pricing Assets against something other than the USD dollar.
Dow Jones Industrial
One of the biggest averages out there - when people talk about the market moving, they usually mention the DOW first. I wanted to take a look at the market in a different view, and compare the value against sound money of Gold and Silver to see what I can learn about trends and performance cycles.

Looks like we have a very nice cyclical set up here. I am no expert, but it looks to me like there some pretty clear movements between Gold and the DOW - and the cycles are really long. These are mega trends and much harder to take advantage of efficiently.
The weekly chart looks a little different, it looks like the chart just changed is going to turn negative. Looks like an indication that Gold has some real strength coming for its position

Looks close to but not the same as gold. Clearly silver is much more volatile on shorter time frames. I think they both may point it might be good to add more precious metals to your portfolio to help mitigate risk.
GOLD/SILVER could rise - or this could mean some hard times ahead in the market. Either way I think I may try to add some GOLD and Silver to my portfolio, but physical, and institutional as a hedge. It also goes without saying, I will be adding some of that digital gold to my assets.
I am not sure what any of this means - but I will continue to look for ways to compare asset vs asset and remove the dollar as my base comparison.
