That was my 1st inspiration, GM was the second & timing will be my next. But what´s the right time? You can figure it out, but time will tell was it right or wrong. What a contradiction! That makes it even satisfying if U can win your doubts and be proven being on the right side.

I mashed together the 5year gold&silver charts to see how Au&Ag are related. Seems like we could be in a juncture where silver takes the lead IF the worsening overall economic situation doesn´t drag it down sooner or later near future, in which case odds favours owning more gold. Just figuring to diversify into silver @ some point in the future. The odds being 1) buying me in now and trusting the silver will lead this upleg or 2) staying with gold this upleg, watching the overall situation of economy near future, sell Gold into strenght and diversifying forecoming dip in silver (when ratio could be short period even favourable than now, could it?)

Any opinions on my logic?

What U mean by many bullish things. I havent paid so much attention to silver since recently, but what else You think could soften the landing in silver other than chinese buing on dips?

When the gold gets fired up, it´s nice 2 take a close up from Goldessentials LiveGold

Yearly cycle wise both pms are favored, but in the idea diversifying into silver now, I´m considering the possibility of a pullback, if the overall economy tanks again and in case of gold I would miss a my just diversified part of the gold upleg. The metals tend to move in tandem, but the overall economic downfall could affect silver more.

Thanks 4 the very toughtful posts & ways of playing/not playing the G/S ratio. Got 2 finetune my strategy for the future...

In case of stocks&economy tanks again between now & nov/october, would that make good entry point to silver if it´s dragged down with the other commodities after this upleg?

Would U be buying now if U hadn´t any silver yet? How You would timeframe Your buyings if U had 600 g of gold U wanted to swap 2 silver.

David Thurtell, an analyst at Citigroup:"We would suggest that the gold/silver ratio will push down towards the 50-55 level by the end of third quarter."

If the economy dips again within forthcomin month, I´d assume silver to take a hit also (being a partialy industrial metal) and that would be a good entry point to difersify partially into silver from gold. If economy isn´t going 2 dip ( I doubt it will) the G/S ratio may push down 50-55 level, (but I´m not sure about the Citigroup analyst real motives for the article). I´ve planned to watch this rally with gold and maybe diversify silver selling gold on strength, sit on cash for a moment 2 see the action & ratio of silver and buy on a dip after this rally on both metals. Any opinions ?

Here is a close-up:

Let's assume history repeats with the Dow dangling at 5,000-10,000. That would mean $250/oz-$500/oz silver for a few weeks.

Depending which one of the metals lead, U should swap to benefit from the G/S ratio in that time period IF history rhymes and b4 of all settle Your Own diversification of metals 2 suit 4 your appetite of risk.

You will still lose your shirt (a lot of ounces) if you trade the gold:silver ratio at the wrong times.

Timing is everything, but perfect timing won´t help without the strategy that suits U best.

Newbie catch up: As far I know, U can swap between gold&silver using the G/S ratio to favour your plan of cumulating your ounces during your holding of gold&silver. U can also use the ´silver lift´ when jig is up and swap to gold before the end of the bull market to get more gold than just buying the gold 1st place. Is there any other usable strategies to make the most of this asset class (not including the stocks, warrants or ETFs) the forum recommends?

Thanks 4 info. Gotta study the links.

Newbie question: Got gold and iterested in swappin btween silver. To make the gain in acording the gold/silver ratio how the swaps should be done in near future?
