With gold at $850 today, the Gold/Slinky ratio touched the magic 200 level. (Slinkys retail for $4.25.) If it breaks 200, watch out! I'm told the next support level is 184!
A G/S ratio of 184 would put gold at $782.

<< <i>Why is an ounce of gold worth so much more than a Slinky? >>
This is really a no-brainer.
Gold makes a really good door stop whereas a slinky, at its best, can accompany you down the stairs. Geez.

Maybe so, but I did call for support at $782. That has to count for something.
