Was your intention to compare gold and DOW as investments for long term?

In that case you should ask question: "What is the price of Dow Jones Industrial Average dividends reinvested in ounces of gold?"

In long term, the majority of value in stock markets comes from dividends. That does not show in stock price graphs.



No. I wanted to see how the stock market change would look if, instead of being priced in dollars, it was priced in some form of commodity, like gold.

So if one day the index closed at 1000, and gold was 200/ounce, it would have closed at 5 ounces.

Thanks for the help, though.


If not even nabla9 can understand what you were really asking, it shouldn't come as a surprise that an NLP program couldn't ;)
