<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Rono, post: 275453, member: 6492&quot;]Hi Elaine,</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The others make good points.&nbsp; There&#039;s a lot of thought that the historical ratios don&#039;t really matter today due to a lot of supply/demand issues.&nbsp; Personally, I disagree.&nbsp; Historically, the ratio has been 1:15-20.&nbsp; Right now it&#039;s 1:55 with a high last year of 1:75 or so.&nbsp; During the great bull market of the last 70&#039;s, gold peaked in 1980 at ~$850 while silver peaked at ~$50.&nbsp; Note that this was a two fold increase for gold, but a TEN fold increase for silver.&nbsp; And the peak ratio was&nbsp; . . . . . . 1:17.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>All this said, who can really predict when, how much, etc.&nbsp; I sure can&#039;t.&nbsp; I can put my best guess on things and invest accordingly - and that&#039;s about it.&nbsp; So, I&#039;m overweight silver relative to gold in my investments.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>good luck,</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>rono[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
