$100,000 kept in cash when the US went off the gold standard in 1933 is now worth an inflation-adjusted $2,000.

The same $100,000 kept in gold? Now worth $4.9M.

Inflation = Game, Set, Match: Gold.
======================================================================

The same amount in the DJIA with dividends reinvested is........$1,178,220,494.

That's right, 1.178 billion dollars.

$100,000 was an absurd amount of money to start with, in 1933 a house in the USA cost $5,700. You're making a dick of yourself.
