Silver Or ETFs which is better?

[coarsequarterly]

In long term Silver will deliver more gains to investors than gold. Currently Gold-to-Silver multiple stands at 74 ounce i.e. 1 ounce of gold is eual to 74 ounce of silver. In 1970’s it is averaged at 55.5 that means increased value of $21an ounce to silver’s current value. If we go further back around 200 years then gold-to silver multiple is averaged to 37 which means 125% rise in silvers present value. But we are talking about a time period of 200 yrs and ETFs are now rolling in so which one is better provide your suggestions and the source of Info as well.

ETFs are for investors who chase the markets. Physical is for stackers who want insurance against a currency crisis. Figure out your motivation and the decision is pretty easy.

There have been a few threads that have discussed the ratios between the 4 precious metals:

Silver and Platinum seem to be great buys at the moment if you consider the ratios.
