<p>[QUOTE="Cloudsweeper99, post: 813280, member: 3011"]The gold/silver ratio is nonsense. You could get equally meaningful results by developing a gold/copper ratio or a gold/lumber ratio. The positive outlook for silver is primarily based on the steady decline in above ground inventories over the past 20 years combined with the new uses for the metal. Eventually [nobody can put a date on it], the supply and demand factors will determine the price, and many analysts believe the equilibrium price will be much higher than today. The wildcard is investment demand. Most people [not including CoinTalk types] have no investment in silver or gold. If even a few large institutional investors decide to allocate 5%-10% of their assets to precious metals, the demand will overwhelm the market. Nobody can guarantee that this will happen, but it seems to be a high probability bet. I don't think you will have to wait 30 years for it. Your biggest problem will be to determine when to take profits. Good luck.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
