THE OUTLOOK FOR SILVER

摘要

Although the silver/gold price ratio improved in November to slightly more than 52:1, investors and speculators appear to have tired of silver's high-risk nature, especially at times of profit-taking in precious metals, similar to what occurred in mid-2007. In general, most analysts now favor gold over silver in the medium term, as the markets try to find lower-risk investments in the climate of geopolitical tensions, record oil prices, and serious uncertainty about the U.S. economy and its continuing and spreading credit crisis.
