Does anyone know what "type" of buyers choose either metal? And which type hold the most of each metal. For example are people in the middle class more apt to trend in the silver market due to it's cheaper buy in.

Some who feel they missed the last run up are also watching prices closely, looking to get out!
An investor with $500,000 to allocate towards PMs would rather would own 400 oz of gold than 30,000 oz of silver.

Plus the latter are far more easier to deal with...

Depends solely on the investor. Buffet preferred 130 MILL oz of silver to any gold. So did the Hunt Brothers. When Deadhorse was on this forum in 2002-2006 they purchased over $500K in silver, gold was secondary. It also depends on where in the cycle you are investing. In 2002-2006 silver was the better option. I doubt there are many pre-2011 silver owners who are "closely" watching the current price ($14-$16) to determine when to "get out." If they wanted out, they'd have already gotten out. At 80-1 to 100-1 gold to silver ratio I'd make my pick 30,000 oz of silver....wouldn't even consider gold.
