Perhaps a bit off topic, but this got me curious. I can vouch that talking about buying precious metals usually goes over as well as a dog fart.

How many people look to buy precious metals? I asked google trends a few times to see the trend:


Nearly any term will bury Silver and Gold searches. Inflation is an example relatively unpopular search term that still makes it possible to see the movement of gold and silver search term. It looks like silver is catching up to gold in popularity ever since gold went through the roof relative the worlds reserve fiat currency and left silver behind.



Clockwise from top left, GLD, SLV, GLD/SLV, GLD/FSMTX. The recent run of silver has brought the Gold to Silver Ratio to the lowest since 2004, will silver break below 32x Gold? If so is the next stop dialing up the way back machine to 1979?

p.s. 10th post comes with an upgrade to post more per day? I feel like my posting power just got devalued :o)
