How Come

[Garyw]

How Come the Gold Silver Ratio keeps getting wider. Will they ever quit beating up on silver? Last year when Gold was over $1600. Silver was in the 30's. with a ratio in the 30-1's now the ratio is 57.56

It gets wider, it gets narrow, it tracks sideways.

That's the way the ratio historically swings.

Some folks increase their stacks by taking advantage of these swings in the ratio.

Here, take a look:



Irons did a graph of how he works the ratio (go here to see his post):

I liken silver to a crack whore. You can get a great ride if you a there at the right time. The problem I've observed is, the high NEVER lasts. Never has. Take it for what it's worth.

On some days they trade in paper over a BILLION ounces when worldwide they only MINE about 800 MILLION ounces a year.

ESF is key. The 1934 FDR contol the world system.

Paper games smoke and mirrors - silver is the Achilles Heel to the anti-real money folks.

Always be reminded of Horace Tabor, who was all in for silver and became the richest man in Colorado.

And then became the poorest.

You are correct Gcubed. Silver is a whore, never propose marriage no matter how good it feels. She's broken a lot of men.

On some days they trade in paper over a BILLION ounces when worldwide they only MINE 800,000 ounces a year. They trade 20% per day more than they mine in a year!

ESF is key.

Show me a new high that HOLDS. Until then...
You hang in there HS. I'm sure you mean well.

no offense intended .......but your math isnt even close......or you have a wrong term etc...

a billion vs 800k ......is not 20%

probably need to correct it as you see fit

Yep, he fought the govy banksters, (as Andrew Jackson said the MONEY people), made bad leveraged investments, but had a hell of a run... ~ HS

If you're ever near Leadville stop by.

Interesting little town, especially for you pm buffs. Highest elevation of any town in the US. The mines near there are as numerous as the stars in the sky. Been to Buckskin but didn't realize that was his general store.


Not far from there we camped at a spot between Mt Elbert and another 14ner, Laplatte. A very narrow valley with a roaring river. It was like Eden at the dawn of creation.
