<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Rono, post: 2374410, member: 6492&quot;]Howdy,</p><p><br /></p><p>Both wise choices.&nbsp; I firmly believe in owning both metals and it sounds like you agree.&nbsp;&nbsp; Now you just have to decide the percentage of each you want to own and that should tell your what to buy.&nbsp;&nbsp; Ah, but how to determine the percentage. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve long watched the gold/silver ratio as a guide for my investing in precious metals. Historically, the gold/silver ratio was ~1/17.&nbsp; Presently, it&#039;s 1/81.&nbsp; Now before certain posters naysay this metric and that it only existed when the price of gold was fixed,&nbsp; think back to the earlier peak in 1980 of silver around $50 and gold around $850 (1/17).&nbsp; Even the latest bull run that peaked in 2011 resulted in ~$45 and ~$1850 (1/41). </p><p><br /></p><p>All this tells me, however, is simply overweight my purchasing of silver relative to that of gold.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Also, as an aside, I always noted much more leverage in silver rather than gold.&nbsp; Back on the 70&#039;s, gold tripled, while silver went up tenfold.&nbsp; This time gold went up 5x while silver when up 10x. </p><p><br /></p><p>And for those who are really and truly nuts, the crazy leverage is with the junior miners, particularly junior silver miners. </p><p><br /></p><p>peace,</p><p><br /></p><p>rono[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
