[QUOTE="Blaubart, post: 2020101, member: 37498"]Agreed. I look 20 years back, at most, to figure out if the ratio is high or low. It's difficult to determine the exact average, but looking at a chart, it seems to be in the 50-60 neighborhood: [ATTACH=full]365467[/ATTACH] If I had a stack of silver in 2011, I would have been selling/trading for gold. I'm also not necessarily talking about selling all of one to buy another, but rather selling/trading/buying a bit here and there when you can work the premium in your favor. (craigslist, yard sales, etc..) I only started buying PM in 2012, so it's always been silver for me. I've bought a little bit of gold here and there, but measured in dollars, I have about 90% silver and 10% gold. If the GSR goes below 60, I'll start looking more for opportunities to sell silver at a premium and buy gold at a discount. At 50, the premiums and discounts might be less important. At 40, the premiums and discounts might be irrelevant. All of this depends of course on what is causing the values to change.[/QUOTE]
