Why does a silver investment have a better profit opportunity?
*MarketWatch, by Moming Zhou, August 14, 2009:
"Gold futures rose Friday, poised for a slight weekly gain, as the
U.S. dollar fell after consumer price data, raising gold's appeal as an
alternative investment.
In other metals, silver climbed above $15 an ounce to hit a two-month
high as hopes for an economic recovery raised expectations that
industrial use of the metal will increase.
On the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange, December
gold futures, the most active contract, rose $2.50, or 0.3%, to $959 an
ounce. The less active August contract gained $2.70, or 0.3%, to
$957.40. The contract is heading for a weekly gain of less than $1 an
ounce.
September silver contract rose 1.3 cents, or 0.1%, to $15 an ounce,
after hitting $15.185, the highest level since June 11.
'Thanks to its widespread industrial use, silver benefits, even more
than gold, from current economic hopes,' said analysts led by Barbara
Lambrecht at Commerzbank, in a note. 'Furthermore, in contrast to gold,
investors continue to show strong interest in silver.'"
