<p>[QUOTE="SilverSurfer, post: 1041040, member: 21603"]Gold 1365, Silver 27.75. This puts the ratio at 49:1. Wow! I thought we would get back here, but now it is starting to look like things might be over correcting. This could be normal, as you can't push something too far in one direction without it swinging back harder than it normally should.</p><p> </p><p>The reason the silver to gold ratio is important, and say more important that silver to zinc, or silver to oil, is because 90% of the price action of silver is attributed to price movements in gold. Hardly ever do you see gold dropping $100 an ounce at the same time silver is gaining $2.....this just doesn't happen. Have you seen gold go down while oil goes up...sure. Have you seen zinc go up as silver goes down, definitely. But gold and silver track each other.</p><p> </p><p>So, why the strange 80:1 ratio we saw earlier this year and last year?

In June there were about 110 million ounce of silver in COMEX to cover 600 million contracts. Recently, there is about 100 million ounces of silver in inventory to cover 725 million contracts. COMEX is doing all it can to satisfy it's obligations to fill these contracts with silver delivery when asked. The day they opt to use cash to settle the contract is the day silver soars![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
