Notice that percentage wise, silver is currently down 5x as much as gold, which is down merely .72%.
The silver/gold ratio has widened to 55.3/1, and appears to be targeting 60/1. While the silver/gold ratio is nowhere near the extremes seen in 2008- it is now a very attractive ratio for the conversion of gold bullion to silver.
