I feel kind of bad criticizing these guys because they are silver bugs, but their arguments are so weak I have a hard time believing that they actually believe their own words.
The below article I guess is trying to show silver's superiority over gold, but his own words and facts contradict the point he is trying to make. He points out that at one time, 5 times as many silver ounces were purchased vs. gold. How is this silver positive? It is not at all. I don't remember what the silver/gold ratio was back then, but right now it is 70 to 1. If we were to say hypothetically that 5x as many silver ounces were purchased this year vs. gold, that is gold bullish. If gold and silver were even just equal in popularity, we should see 70X as many silver ounces purchased vs. gold ounces. That would just be to make them equal in terms of dollars spent.
Am I missing something here or is my Just say No to silver 12 step program finally taking hold?
