Dumb question of the day...

Postby merchoarder » Tue Jun 28, 2011 1:56 am

Ok, so I get the gold:silver ratio but what is the silver:XAU ratio? I have a feeling this should be obvious but I can't figure it out? Thanks in advance :oops:

A friend from another board often says

“There are no stupid questions.
There are however a lot of inquisitive idiots in the world.”

Not saying that applies to this question. I just like that quote.

There are no stupid questions, except for the ones you are too chicken to ask.

Thanks, Camero, for telling us what the gold:XAU ratio means. I always thought it was a ratio of gold to a special Chinese commodity: XAU! :mrgreen:

I always liked the line, "There are no stupid questions...only stupid people." I think it was in a movie, but it always makes me laugh. I'm not directing that at you merchoarder. :)
