Question about fractional gold and gold to silver ratio

Postby CtrlAltBernanke » Thu May 02, 2013 10:52 pm

So the easy question first. I'm familiar with a few of the compare gold price websites but the ones I know of they only list 1/10 and 1 oz retail gold. Are there any that you know of that do 1/4 oz gold or could you recommend a website that usually has the cheapest 1/4 gold price.


The second question is regarding the gold to silver ratio. Right now it's around 61/1 which is different from it's typical 50/1. I haven't seen much about this topic on here. Does anybody have any opinions on this? Do you think it will go back to 50/1 or does anybody think that it may break to 100/1? Just wondering what people thoughts were on this. Thanks.

The APMEX site shows up-to-date buy/sell prices for Eagles and Maples. For fractional gold, it's hard to beat the deals here and at BS.

At > 80/1 sell your gold and buy silver, at < 45/1 sell your silver and buy gold....At 60/1 hold both until a better ratio developes...you would have rotated your PMs 6 times in the last 20 years and added ounces with minimal expense.
