Future looks bright for metals. 
DislikedGregg McCoach reminds us that every time we have a secular bull market silver returns to a 16:1 Ratio
Historically the price of Gold to Silver has the tendency to revert back to an average ratio of around 16:1.
There have been historical extremes with the ratio being as low as 6:1 back in 1551 and as high as 100:1 in the 1940's and again in 1991.
Historically, however it has spent a lot of the time between 14:1 and 16:1.
As of Jan 24 2010 it is at a ratio of 64:1 which is at the high end and would indicate that Silver is undervalued in comparison...Ignored
