STRIEBRO – nakupujte, ak chcete mať dobré zhodnotenie investícií
Ak sa pomer striebro/zlato zo súčasného 50:1 vráti k historickému 10:1, zhodnotíte svoje investície 5 násobne viac v striebre, ako v zlate.
It is interesting to know this. If you want know the enviable properties of silver, read on. The historic price ratio of silver to gold shows that about 10 ounces of silver would buy one ounce of gold, a 10:1 ratio. Recently, the ratio is about a 50:1 ratio (with silver at $20/oz., and gold at $1000/oz.) As the silver to gold ratio returns to historic values, from 50:1 to 10:1, you may make over 5 times more money investing in silver, than gold!
Silver prices may rise to exceed the 10:1 ratio, for the following reasons: More than all of the silver produced by the mines each year is consumed by industry, which leaves little to no room for substantial investment demand. A marginal increase in investment demand will drive prices sky high.
Most silver is produced as a by-product of mining gold, copper, zinc, or lead. Higher silver prices might not substantially increase the amount of silver mined each year. Consider, in 1980, when silver prices went up to $50/oz., less silver was mined than in 1979!
Higher silver prices may not cause much reduced demand. Why? Because most silver consumed by industry is used in tiny quantities in each application, such as in film or electrical contacts, therefore, rising silver prices will not easily slow down growing industrial demand.
Despite silver's intrinsic properties as money, silver began to lose its status as money starting in the late 1800s, as nations stopped using silver, and started using only gold as money. Over 100 years of this “demonetization” has caused a serious drop in silver’s value, and this trend is about to be reversed as investors re-learn that silver is a great store of value because of its intrinsic properties.
As paper money continues to waver, the neglect of silver’s use as money will end. Once again, silver will be valued based on other measures of value, such as a day’s wage, or a ratio to gold. If silver exceeds its historic value, then perhaps a silver dime, a silver quarter, or a silver dollar will be worth far more than a day’s wage, as it once was.
Will you be hurt if silver and gold prices rise? Not if you own some. Remember, honest weights and measures in commerce produce prosperity. But you must act to benefit from this information.
Don’t wait for silver to rise before buying it. Silver prices could rise by over $20/day to exceed $100/ounce at any time if large funds or billionaires buy with desperation
