Silver Remains The Most Undervalued Precious Metal Posted April 30th, 2014
Los Angeles CA, Apr 30 (Tangible Investments) - by James O’Dell - The gold price inched modestly lower on Tuesday, easing just $0.13 or 0.08 percent to close at $1,295.65 an ounce, as investors remain on the sidelines ahead of the Fed's policy statement following the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting later today. Silver dipped $0.12 or 0.61 percent to close at $19.45 an ounce, and remains the most undervalued of the precious metals, and a good buy in the eyes of astute investors at today's levels.
With the current gold/silver ratio at 66:1 and the long term historical average at 15:1, silver stackers, the long term store of value buyers of silver coins and bars, are now being called both smart, and informed. The 15 to 1 ratio doesn't happen by accident, there happen to be 15 parts of silver in the earth for every 1 part of gold. The closest silver has come to its historic ratio in recent times was in 1980 when gold hit $850 an ounce and silver reached $50 an ounce, a 17:1 ratio.
The average for the rest of the 20th century was around 40:1. Silver is currently valued at less than half of its nominal record price in 1980, and with industrial and investment demand increasing and supplies shrinking, it remains an excellent investment opportunity.
Silver, like gold, has long been regarded as a hedge against, war, debased fiat currencies, deflation, inflation, even hyperinflation. Ask any citizen of Ukraine what they think of silver as a store of value against currency devaluation. Analysts call the liquidity of the Ukrainian currency, the hryvnia, "nonexistent." March silver coin sales by the U.S. Mint were the fourth-biggest month ever and puts sales on pace to exceed 2013.
