If it does, there are bigger things going on and we would be discussing this in the Survival Forum.
I would love to see the Ag/Au ratio back to normal values but at todays rates, gold would have to drop to about $200/oz or Silver would have to go up to about $150/oz IMHO silver will climb more than gold (percentage wise). Silver will double before gold does. as always, YMMV |

That silver spike in 1980(?) was only for a day or so back when the Hunt brothers tried to corner the world silver market. The value was back to pre spike value in less than a week. The country was not on the verge of an economic collapse back then though.

As mentioned above; if silver hits 250/oz there will be much, much more going on...... |

Yes, eventually it will.
Just as gold will eventually hit $5000. But even your kids might not see it, depending on how old you are. |

Might take a damned long time though. Like multiple generations long. Or if we got hyper inflation it could go really high, offset of course by everything else moving higher in price as well. |

And then the price/oz took a massive shit. |

I think we will see a good return on silver in our lifetime too though. Def. not those numbers but it will be VERY respectable for an item that is mainly looked to for maintaining $ and not growth.

Quoted: Do you think it will hit $100/oz or even $250/oz? No way, not even close. Silver used to be a monetary metal tied to the price of gold. I forget what the ratio was, but it was something like 6:1 or 7:1. That relationship is obviously history. Central banks don't use silver as a reserve asset like they do with gold. The storage costs would be out of this world for the amounts of money they deal in. The supply of silver is much, much bigger than gold and other precious metals. Its main industrial use in photography is largely obsolete. $40-$50/oz is unlikely, forget the numbers you threw out. |
