However, when measured with that other world <a href=\"http:\/\/pragcap.com\/the-dow-in-gold#\" >currency<\/a> (gold), the picture is even more bleak.

For example, it currently takes 8.5 ounces of gold to &ldquo;buy the Dow.&rdquo; This is considerably less that the 44.8 ounces back in the year 1999. When priced in gold, the US stock market has been in a severe bear market for the entire 21st century.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Notes:<br \/> &#8211; Where&rsquo;s the Dow headed?
