[QUOTE="Rono, post: 648234, member: 6492"]Howdy, Right now we're seeing a surge in commodity prices due to the "anticipated economic recovery'. Silver is an industrial commodity much more than gold and is being impacted more. I say this because over the past couple of months, we've also been seeing the Noble Sisters (platinum and palladium) being strong and they too are industrial metals. We're seeing it in copper, nickel, zinc, etc. If anything, gold's being dragged along for the ride. Now this is current. Over the longer run, many of us believe that silver is undervalued relative to gold and will out perform. Historically, the gold/silver ratio has been between 1-15 and 1-20. Right now it's 1-68. Back in 1980 at the peak, gold topped out at $850 and silver at $50 (1-17). So, while I'm a coin collector and also a gold and silver coin collector, I'm a bullion hoarder and precious metals speculator AND I overweight silver relative to gold. peace, rono[/QUOTE]
