Spreads outright or ratio adjusted are effected, sometimes greatly, by which particular start point is used.How about a one year return of +1,466.09%. Sounds good? Here you go:

Except that you're probably down in real terms. Pricing stocks in printed paper currency can be delusive.
SPY still down since end of 2004 when priced in GLD. Current value is 2.50.
Just so you know if you want to price in something, it needs to be the divisor. Also you're cherry picking two ponzi schemes that happened to snowball in the last few years, while countless other scams went bust. Gold is well established as a measure of buying power for hundreds of years.Do that but price it in Bitcoin. You won't even need to start way back in 2004. Start it in 2012. Or Ethereum, and start in 2016.![]()
Had I used back adjusted futures contracts, you might have a point. But I used ETFs that are directly investible. This spread isn't affected by the starting point.Spreads outright or ratio adjusted are effected, sometimes greatly, by which particular start point is used.
Both SPY and GLD are priced in USD! The math here (dividing by a fraction) isn't complicated, I think it's 5th grade or something. SPY/USD divided by GLD/USD makes the /USD cancel out, it's equal to just SPY/GLD.BTW isn't GLD priced in printed paper currency too? LOL
You're right, it's much easier to see SPY cratering against BTC this way. Down a casual -99.99%. lolJust so you know if you want to price in something, it needs to be the divisor.
So your spread is somehow different than every other spread huh?...

Steve Bannon? The same guy who's under investigation as the founder of the “We Build the Wall” crowdfunding campaign and possible lying to donors about how their gifts would be used, that Steve Bannon?
