Gold vs Silver
I like to study the relationship between the price of gold and silver. Â I review the charts for two popular exchange traded funds to do this - IShares Silver Trust ETF (SLV) and SPDR Gold ETF (GLD). Â In the past, I recommended the purchase of silver, especially when silver's rate of appreciation was trailing gold by a significant margin - approximately six months ago. Â As you can see in the chart, not only has silver closed the gap, it's level of appreciation has greatly exceeded gold. Â That would indicate that either silver is now overpriced or gold is underpriced and needs to catch up. Â I wouldn't recommend adding to silver investments at this time.
