See stock prices measured in gold, not fiat currency
When you look at stock prices in dollars, you're seeing a distorted picture. The US dollar has lost over 95% of its purchasing power since 1913, and continues to lose value due to inflation and monetary expansion. Gold, however, has maintained its purchasing power for thousands of years.
A stock that went from $10 to $100 over 20 years might seem like a 10x return. But if the dollar lost 60% of its purchasing power during that time, your "gains" are largely an illusion. You need 2.5x more dollars just to maintain the same purchasing power.
Gold has been money for over 5,000 years. Unlike fiat currencies, it cannot be printed or debased by governments. When you measure stock prices in gold ounces, you see the real value creation (or destruction) of a company over time.
