Anything priced at $1 in 1971, should be priced today at $15 to $20 to be equal to 1971. The chart below shows that in 2004, after 34 years of distorted unnatural suppressed prices, Mr. Market started acting up. A 1969 Camaro cost me $2840. How much today? A postage stamp was .02 cents. Newspaper .05 cents. Slice of pizza and a small Coke .25 cents.
COPPER Should be $15/lb today. Porterhouse is $12.99/lb. Chop meat at $3.99 is higher than copper? Makes no sense.
