<p>[QUOTE=&quot;yakpoo, post: 717760, member: 18157&quot;]It&#039;s an excellent question that I personally don&#039;t know enough about to give a complete answer. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It could have something to do with the oft-reported &quot;ponzi&quot; scheme of &quot;naked short&quot; contracts in silver....which supposedly holds down silver prices artificially. I only know what I&#039;ve read from a few &quot;not so disinterested&quot; reporters, but there could be something to it.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I do know that silver and gold prices fluctuate independently all the time for a wide variety of reason...supply/demand, carry trades, etc. Here&#039;s a chart that shows the silver/gold ratio relative the price of silver alone.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://i664.photobucket.com/albums/vv10/Yakpoo/GSR-SM.png" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Note: The &quot;Y&quot; labels on the left for for the price of silver and the &quot;Y&quot; labels on the right are the Silver/Gold ratio labels. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>As you can see, we&#039;ve only touched the 50:1 ration a couple of times in the past 25 years.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
