Can anyone tell me why gold is making record highs, now over 10% higher than it's 2008 high (995ish) yet silver is still nowhere near it's high of 2008 (over $20 oz)?

Silver's crash last year spooked a lot of people. They won't re-enter the market & those that stayed in are now mightily relieved to be getting out at around break even.

Personally I've been buying a lot of Silver stocks of late & will continue to do so.

my mate who got me into buying a few kilos of the stuff mentioned that historically the ratio of gold to silver is about 14:1, but for many years now its up around the 50:1 mark.I was hoping that the ration would return towards that historical ratio. At current prices it's heading to 60:1. Thx for the reply tho -( i dont really follow it too closely, and regardless i've got some pleasure out of it. When you handle a 1kg bar you kinda realise why it's valuable.)

It's trending back to 50:1.
