Take a look at this chart:
Here is proof that the intrinsic value of gold is a solid store of value compared to funny money. The same holds for ANY hard asset, whether it be gold, silver, land, or any other hard commodity.

To put this in a different perspective, when I was a kid one ounce of gold ($35) would buy 100 gallons of gasoline (35 cents). Today one ounce of gold ($1217) will buy 328 gallons of gasoline ($3.70). Both gas stations are in the same small city.
This poses a question of whether gas is too cheap or gold is too expensive making me wonder if gas should be $12.17 per gallon or gold should be $370 per ounce.
