This interactive chart tracks the ratio of the Dow Jones Industrial Average to the price of gold. The number tells you how many ounces of gold it would take to buy the Dow on any given month. Previous cycle lows have been 1.94 ounces in February of 1933 and 1.29 ounces in January of 1980.

On the left side of the chart you will see the ounces of gold and on the bottom side you will see the year.

the stock market, well...it's just a fancy casino
