I just try to find the best deals, sales, buy what I like, keep a document of my purchases, how much I spent, a total of how much gold/silver I have.

Technically true but over time gold rises when the dollar falls and falls when it rises The tide is linked to the orbit of the moon. The price of a fixed rate bond is linked to current interest rates. Over time, most things rise when the dollar falls. But my statement was that the price of silver is not linked to the price of gold. They may both increase or decrease at the same time, but not in any fixed ratio. The price of silver and gold are not directly related to each other (nor to platinum, palladium, titanium, or anything else).

thq Pillar of the Community United States 3343 Posts	Posted 03/25/2023 3:08 pm The ratio strategy has nothing to do with any linkage between the price of gold and silver. It has to do with buying one metal over the other preferentially based on the ratio, which is changing randomly all the time in the short term. We tend to do this in our heads: if silver is at $40 per ounce and gold at $1200 (30 ratio) my buying preference is for gold. If silver is at $20 and gold is at $2000 (100 ratio) my buying preference is for silver. Over a period of 10 years, both events occur. This isn't rocket science.

jaxenro Pillar of the Community United States 533 Posts	Posted 03/25/2023 8:44 pm True I rarely actually look at the ratio I just do it naturally at a glance based on spot prices And yes gold and silver are not artificially linked like they used to be. So I will end it there. It's a factor I like at either overtly or just by comparison Report this Post to the Staff
