Dow Jones Industrial in LOG Scale

ANSWER: The 1929 high on the Dow Jones Industrials was 386. That adjusted for inflation in 2015 dollars would be $5,300.43 assuming each point in $1. So yes, we have obviously well exceeded that level and it equates to support in the 15,000 area today which is about a 300% multiple. That equivalent in gold would be major resistance which would be in the $6,000 level.
