<p>[QUOTE="baseball21, post: 2613602, member: 76863"]I don't put any weight into that ratio myself. I get that they're both precious metals that historically have been tied to many of the same thing (e.g. money, jewelry, investment ect) but I have never understood why two independent things are supposed to have a set ratio. It makes sense to me that the ratio is off in higher metal prices, silver has shown a ceiling of around 50 dollars a few times where as gold being more valuable can get into the 2k range. When they are both at their lows maybe the ratio is a little relevant, but as prices go up that ratio is always going to widen. Gold just simply has the ability to gain or lose quicker given the higher value.</p><p><br /></p><p>It's a lot like stocks when you think about it. An 800 dollar stock movie 10-20 dollars in a day is nothing where as a 20 dollar one doing that is huge news.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
