How Was A Guy To Afford A Trans Am?

Gold hit a 17 year high today selling for $463 dollars an ounce. I remember that when I was a senior in high school that the price of gold had gone through the roof causing senior rings to be incredibly expensive. I found this chart to show the amazing price of gold in 1980. (Click to enlarge).

You must have a lot of time on your hands to come up with some of this stuff.

It is hard to believe that the reason gold went so high in 1980 is that the Hunt brothers in Dallas actually tried to corner the world's silver supply... any almost succeeded. Pretty incredible.
