When I was 15 years old, the U.S. defaulted on Bretton woods.
The dollar is down ~98% vs Gold since then.
The ounce of gold that was $40 then, is (as of the moment) spot priced at $2,200 (plus a street premium of $50 - $100 per ounce).
The only prediction I will make is that this 53 year trend will continue, and we will likely see the beach ball at some point (reference to Hawkeye post above).
