The Global Unanimocracy Network used to run a daily update on the financial markets, but rather than focusing on the dollar-value of goods and investments, we compared strictly the value of each market in terms of gold ounces.  As of January 2, 2009, we will be restarting the daily financial recap of an assortment of important items and investments.

Every investment will be priced in gold ounces, based on the close of spot gold bullion for that given day.  We will compare gold to oil, gold to silver, and gold to DJIA, with other items added if demand requires.  Our comparisons will also show the ratios changes from the previous market day.  On days when a given investment is not traded, we will carry forward the previous market day’s value for comparison reasons.

We will also plot a graph of the comparison figures, weighted against the value of gold.
