Only when viewed through a very narrow lens. Broaden your time view and you see then that while it oscillates, those waves are moving around a steadily increasing trendline.

I agree. I was only refuting the statement made by the person that said that as a result of comparing silver prices over a 2 month span that the dollar's purchasing power had dropped substantially.
