According to BlockBeats, Christopher Aaron, chief analyst and founder of iGold Advisor, has identified a significant fourth turning point in the Dow-Gold ratio. This signal suggests that gold is poised for several years of sustained growth, while holders of industrial stocks like the Dow Jones and S&P 500 may face prolonged losses. The Dow-Gold ratio measures the number of ounces of gold required to purchase one share of each of the 30 Dow Jones component stocks. Historically, during the previous three key turning points (1930–1933, 1968–1980, 2002–2011), the Dow has fallen by an average of 90.5% relative to gold over 9.3 years. Aaron also noted that this fourth turning point in the Dow-Gold ratio could be the most critical trend break in their historical performance, with the Dow's decline relative to gold potentially exceeding the average of the previous three cycles.
