How should silver appreciate as gold advances?
*Financial Times, by Monica Porter, September 9, 2006:
DESIRE FOR SAFE HAVENS BOOSTS PRECIOUS METALS MARKET
"During precious metal bull markets, silver tends to appreciate faster
than gold. For example, both gold and silver values have risen every
year since 2001, when this current bull market began. But while gold
rose 2.2 times, silver has risen 2.4 times. Therefore, the gold/silver
ratio has fallen from 72.4 to 56.6 - which means it now takes only 56.6
ounces of silver to purchase one ounce of gold - and I expect the ratio
to continue moving lower and approach the historical relationship, over
hundreds of years, of 16 ounces of silver to one ounce of gold, last
seen at the end of the last bull market in January 1980.
So while both gold and silver will rise, I expect silver to rise at a
more rapid rate. However, while silver has greater potential, it is
more volatile than gold, so it is not for everyone."
