<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hrefn, post: 7808827, member: 115171&quot;][USER=115909]@Gam3rBlake[/USER] everything you say is true.&nbsp; Silver and gold have both appreciated significantly in my lifetime, and over a long time line have proven to be good investments.&nbsp; And as a student of history, I am familiar with gold/silver ratios, the eventual collapse of all fiat currencies, hyperinflation, etc.&nbsp; And I find the present gold/silver ratios strangely high at first glance.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>But perhaps the explanation is simple.&nbsp; Silver is no longer used as a circulating coinage medium&nbsp; anywhere in the world.&nbsp;&nbsp; And silver as tableware seems to have vanished as compared with 2 generations past.&nbsp; As late as the 1950’s it is my understanding that bridal registries were predominately for silver and china.&nbsp; Nowadays couples are likely to request lamps from Crate and Barrel, or camping equipment.&nbsp; Middle class brides do not want silver.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Whereas gold is still a central bank monetary asset, and gold jewelry is still coveted.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The most interesting question is will the secular trend of neglecting silver be reversed, and if so, when.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
