Why I Prefer the Silver Lining

Industrial use has so depleted our silver inventory that government now owns none and there is six times more gold above ground than silver, which is by far the scarcer of the two metals.

So why is gold many times more expensive than silver? Because 99.9 percent of the people in the world think gold is much rarer than silver. But they are wrong – dead wrong – and sooner or later the supply/demand equation will favor silver and narrow the pricing gap between the two metals.
