Why watch gold vs. stocks?
Gold has historically shown low correlation to equities, which is why some investors use it as a diversifier. Low correlation does not guarantee gains, and metals can and do fall in value.
Spot price vs. what you pay
The gold price above is the wholesale spot benchmark; silver and the S&P are shown via the SLV and SPY funds. When you buy physical metals you also pay a premium over spot, plus dealer, storage, and custodial fees, factor these in when comparing providers.
