When did we see a 25% weekly fluctuation in the purchasing power of a gold-backed dollar?

Commodity prices were vastly more stable when markets were physical places where brokers, acting on snail mail instructions or a telegraph, made trades.

That’s far from the case now.

Somehow I’d have thought you wouldn’t need my input when there so many publically available sources of historical price records easy to click/open. They all show a wild unworkable price volatility since the nation’s founding that leveled out in the mid-20th as gold was phased out.

Maybe if you’re working around some kind of disability or this is all so new that I might be able to explain or help with something?
