I look at ratios for investing.

You need to look back further than the last 40 years to see the big picture.

Gold dramatically outperforms the S&P 500 line in the early 1970s and 2000 to 2011.

Silver usually follows at outperforms gold.

Even though gold is at an all-time high, it's still relatively low to the S&P 500. Silver is at a historical low relative to the S&P 500.

Commodities as well.

I'm long the S&P 500, but I do it differently.

I buy gold, silver, and commodities when they're undervalued relative to the S&O 500, When they're expensive relative to the S&P 500, I sell them and buy the S&P 500.

After each cycle, I end up with several times more stocks for the same amount of money,

Great thoughts. There are so many permabears spitting doom and gloom and have been doing so for the last 1-3-5-10 years. These folks have already lost, and listening to them will lose you more money than it makes you.
