A Golden Note

n 1980, because of oil prices, inflation, and apprehension about it all (called malaise at the time), gold rocketed to over $800 per ounce (the graph is adjusted for inflation so one can easily compare it to current prices). After the prices began falling off, advertising for gold purchases went astronomical. It has been the same this time, at least, so far.
