silver is currently at an all time historical low ratio to gold.
historically, the ratio is 16-1; currently, it's approx 65-1. (GD882/oz- SIL13.420/oz=65.72)

what does that mean?
silver has the opportunity for HUGE returns, if the ratio adjusts itself to historical levels... which it always does.
NOTE: silver investments or "paper silver" is just that....PAPER!
if you want to protect your wealth and not just hedge against inflation, then you want the silver and/or gold sitting "in your basement safe" or
safety deposit box or whatever.
also, for those, like myself, who are planning for the collapse of our current economies, then SILVER is your best bet, as trying to trade with gold
is.... a little tricky.
silver coins would be your best bet in that situation, even though you'd be paying a premium over bars.
i won't be returning to this forum, so good luck everyone!
