Silver vs Gold

You got me runnin'
Goin' out of my mind
You got me thinkin'
That I'm wastin' my time
--Electric Light Orchestra

Much hand wringing recently over the weak price of silver. Even in relationship to gold, silver can't get traction.

Silver's under-performance vs gold is not a short term phenomenon, however. Since silver's apex in 2011, it has been weaker vs the yellow metal.

Silver's weakness vs gold in down markets should not be surprising. Silver has more upside when things are going well. It should also have more downside when things are less well. Risk:reward.
