These charts don't show the extreme long term ratio, but I do believe they show the "record high" of about 100 to 1. sharelynx.net

Liz, On Bob Johnson's excellent Goldsheet site, he has a chart of the gold/silver ratio going back to '84. It looks like the ratio peaked in mid-1990 at slightly above 100. Here is the link, the chart is near the bottom of the page: goldsheetlinks.com My belief is that this ratio will eventually decrease from the current ~74:1 to 10:1. I don't expect the decrease to be linear (i.e. I don't see $40 silver at $400 gold) but rather an exponential decrease at some point. But one never knows how this will work out. I expect silver to eventually "take off", and once it does the gains will come very quickly. DB
