I have said many times it will probably go up on a percentage basis much higher than gold from this point on. (I also really like gold.) Most people do not know the market like you do, I just want people to know if they buy, don't expect the price to go straight up. You make some good points here. Thank you. Greg Denarius,

My answer was, "The premium is not too high, the silver is too low." Today, you imply that a $3.00 swing in the PoS is "volatile". But if, IF silver was fairly priced at $60 or $90 per ounce, how "volitile" would that $3.00 swing be? Silver-to-gold ounces will go from 80:1 down to 20:1 before this bull market is over. What will you call "volatile" then? Greg, you do a disservice to Carlos and your other two readers.

Is the market (mistakenly in my opinion) anticipating higher interest rates or is it a flight to safety? with the odds stacked against the US$ I can't help but believe this is a short-term run up.

Gold is just too expensive for the little guy to own much of. Do you think the ratio will ever begin to favor silver on the upside?? Greg, what about silver.

His little remembered rapid rate hikes of mid 2007 were the trigger that sent the ball rolling for the first round of defaults in the subprime libor-Fed rate tied, 6 month resets of early 2008 effectively ending the Heloc driven portion of our consumer economy. He now knows further rate hikes will put even greater downward pressure on property values ie. extending to portfolios of many already distressed banks, I have to agree that Bernarke is scared to death to rase interset rates.
