Why Silver’s Breakout Could Bring It Out of Gold’s Shadow

The Sovereign Society submits:From a speculator's perspective, the total return potential now in silver is probably greater than gold. On a percentage basis, the price of silver can easily outpace gold over the next few years as both metals hit record highs after adjusting for inflation since 1980. Silver might achieve that goal far more quickly than gold. But as gold reaches over $1,145 this week (+10% in November) there's one missing ingredient required to legitimize this historic bull market; silver must exceed its March 2008 high of $20.78 an ounce. Spot silver trades at $18.71 an ounce this morning in New York. »
