But the other major thing is the long term ratio of the gold to silver price, which is something like 17:1, but right now its balooned out to 45:1
Clearly something history tells us cant be sustained. If the US keep printing money to solve thier debt crisis, Russia, China and EU nations will continue to call for a new global reserve currency as the US fiat currency will be worthless and too risky.
IF that occurs, immediatly gold and silver will become immeasurably more valuable , and clearly silver stands to gain the most imo as it is presently deeply discounted.
