Silver escalated in price by 81.1% in the 12 months ending June 30th, 2011 compared to gold’s 19.3%. As such the gold:silver ratio fell from 67: 1 to 44: 1 over that period. This is still way out of whack with the long-term historical relationship between the two precious metals and begs the question: “Is now the perfect time to buy silver instead of the much more expensive gold metal?” Words: 1490
The price ratio of gold versus silver has been dropping in the last couple of years in favor of the white precious metal. At the moment, the gold/silver ratio is trading below the ”crucial” bandwidth of 40-to-50, currently hovering around 38x… [which] marks the beginning of a new phase in the bull cycle. The gold/silver ratio could finally be on its way to our target of 16x, the historical bottom in the last century. [Let me explain why I think that may well be the case.] Words: 580
The current gold:silver ratio had been range-bound between 60:1 and 70:1 for quite some time until dropping below 50:1 recently (currently at 47:1) which is way out of whack with the historical relationship between the two precious metals as seen below. It begs the question: “Is now the perfect time to buy silver instead of the much more expensive gold metal?” Words: 1339

Gold will hit $8,000 by 2015 and if the gold:silver ratio reverts to norm silver will reach $400. Gold and silver are so cheap today you should ignore the current price and just pick one day every month and buy the precious metals. Sometimes you will get them at a lower price and sometimes you will pay more, but, over time you will accumulate the precious metals at a good average cost. Words: 1236
Silver has had quite a run the last couple months… so it’s no surprise that it has gained much attention and interest from investors – even more so than gold. It is extremely volatile, however, and tends to rise or fall in spurts so I’d like to focus on its attributes as compared to gold, make a case for holding some, and discuss some ultimate price possibilities.

The fiat currency experiment will end badly in a currency crisis. The wealthiest people will be those who bought silver today and were smart enough to research and pick the best silver mining stocks. Words: 865
Taking into account 11 key measurements based on historical movements and price ratios, gold is likely to exceed $5,000 and silver is likely to exceed $200 within the next 5 years.

“History has shown us, time and again, that the greatest leverage to gold’s rising price is owning gold exploration/development junior mining stocks. Will mainstream investors eventually catch on to the fact they need to own gold and to own gold shares?” Words: 696
