The interesting thing about gold trading is that — we only look at the historical high of gold against the US dollar, but ignore the changes in the dollar's purchasing power itself.

Once considering the purchasing power factor and comparing precious metals with the S&P 500, gold is actually nowhere near its historical high. The same logic applies to real estate.

From this perspective, precious metals and real estate still have significant growth potential compared to the stock market. Especially considering the current macro environment — dollar depreciation, liquidity expansion, and asset real value being undervalued — the potential for traditional safe-haven assets to catch up should not be underestimated. These asset classes are far from reaching their true value ceiling.

I didn't think of this angle, the devaluation of the US dollar has indeed been overlooked. Well said, gold and real estate can still outperform the stock market. Many people have fallen into the trap of purchasing power. Wait a minute, isn't the S&P 500 not as strong as it seems? The ceiling for gold is still far away, it's not too late to buy now. People are still chasing nominal highs while the dollar is shrinking, it's funny. Gold and real estate together are the safest bet. This logic is smooth, but executing it is another matter. The real safe-haven strategy still depends on understanding the underlying logic of purchasing power.

This point hits the mark. The devaluation of the US dollar has indeed been underestimated, and gold is still far from catching up with it. --- Wait, according to this logic, real estate hasn't appreciated enough? So how do I evaluate this property I hold... --- Once the purchasing power dimension is added, the entire market ranking changes, which feels like a revelation. --- Honestly, the rapid rise of the S&P 500 makes me even more inclined to stockpile gold. --- In times of liquidity expansion, safe-haven assets are the most attractive; everything else is illusory. --- The term "potential for price catch-up" is well used, but I don't know when it will actually catch up. --- The ceiling is still far away? Then just hold on tightly, anyway, the US dollar will only become more worthless.

Wow, this is the real "seeing through the fog" moment. Most people haven't even factored in the variable of US dollar purchasing power. The true launch window for gold has just begun. --- So, the nominal peak data can't fool us at all. We need to look at actual purchasing power, which is the real key; otherwise, we're just being cut for chives. --- Attention, astronauts. The traditional safe-haven asset booster has just been ignited and hasn't even reached its limit yet. --- Let's take another look. In the era of liquidity expansion, gold and real estate still have huge potential, yet many are all-in on stocks. This mindset is a bit confusing. --- Truly brilliant. By reversing the dimension of US dollar purchasing power, I quickly exposed the long-standing narrative logic in the financial circle.

That's right, nominal prices are deceptive; you need to look at actual purchasing power. There are really few people who truly understand this... The gold ceiling is still far away, and those calling for higher prices haven't calculated it clearly. The devaluation of the US dollar has indeed changed the game. The stock market is already overextended; traditional assets are the real trump card.

Wake up, the little tricks of the dollar have long been exposed; gold is the real one that hasn't risen enough. When you actually calculate the purchasing power, have we all been fooled for so many years? The same goes for real estate; a high book value doesn't mean real profit. Wait, is this logic suggesting that now is the time to bottom fish in precious metals? The story of dollar devaluation is coming up again... but there’s some truth to it. I've said it before, the returns from the S&P 500 are simply not enough to watch. With such a large room for catch-up growth, why does it feel like everyone is still piling into the stock market?

Haha, I love this logic... Basically, the US dollar is secretly depreciating, but we're still obsessing over nominal prices and celebrating. We're basically being cut but still smiling. Wait, I need to check whether the big on-chain wallets are currently hoarding gold or buying property... Based on my analysis, there's definitely something to those wallet addresses. Actually, real estate is even more solid—much more resilient than the stock market. I bet fifty cents it will catch up in price. This theory has some merit, but as for the true value ceiling... a risk warning: don't be too optimistic. Data shows that the purchasing power factor has been seriously underestimated. Why didn't anyone explain this to me earlier? No matter how loud the S&P 500 hype gets, it still depends on how many cents the dollar is worth, right? Interestingly, retail investors are still chasing new highs, while institutions have long seen through this game. The potential for catch-up growth is indeed large, but only if the dollar truly depreciates all the way... Let's see how it unfolds.
