Would be cool if someone built a simple S&P500 or All-world stock index, expressed in gold instead of USD, or expressed in a weighted basket of all currency index. This may give a better representation of the stock market value, corrected for some of the inflationary effects of quantitative easing.
Anyone ever seen such indices?

- strawhatguy 6y agoNeat chart. So it’s been decreasing but still above 1. Maybe that means there’s room for the sp500 to go down more (or gold up)?
- rileymat2 6y agoI am not sure it is all that helpful because it will fluctuate with gold price/value changes unrelated to inflation.
- osrec 6y agoIsn't that sort of OPs point? I.e. we treat gold as the datum (or ultimate asset) to measure everything else against?
