Not the first time, won't be the last. look at palladium and Rhodium 10 yr charts , precious metals are always all over the place. Silver is trading at 70 ounces to an oz of gold.The ratios of PMs seems to fluctuate monthly. There sure isn't a 40:1 scale like there used to be. Either the stuff was way overvalued or way undervalued for far too long.

I think the weak Platinum price is do to auto sales worldwide. Number one use for Platinum is in a catalytic convertor

So, does this mean a platinum Rolex will soon be cheaper than a gold one?

HaHa wouldn't that be nice!
The reason platinum will always cost more for jewelry is that it is MUCH harder to work with and destroys tools much quicker.

Interestingly, silver comes out of the ground at a 10:1 ratio with gold....

And, back when the Coinage Act of 1792 was enacted, the official ratio was 17:1.....

Anybody not believing that the "Exchange Stabilzation Fund" and the Wall Street banks aren't screwing everbody including the miners?

My take: silver bullion/coins are the greatest investment opportunity of our lifetimes....

Too bad Rolex doesn't make a Silver Submariner....I would own more than one !!
