Is there a ratio of gold to silver that could help determine which metal to buy?

It seems silver is trading at a lower ratio to gold than it did about two years ago. Does that mean it is a better deal?

    Most people will tell you that silver is the better buy on this forum. They maybe correct.

    The historical ratio is tilted favorably towards gold at the moment.

    Two things-

    1) Gold is getting the added boost of being a world currency at the moment in this crisis.

    2) The past rolling 12 months silver has performed gold by a considerable difference.

    A ratio will present 2 options. The ratio you ask about means either 1. Gold is overpriced, OR silver is underpriced.

    Silver tends to outperform gold and the end of inflationary cycles such as in the late 1970's. Gold peforms best in the early innings when people are deciding whether we have deflation or inflation. When people finally figure out that inflation during bad times is quite possible then silver will respond.
