Trading and/or Investing in silver

If you did your homework and came to the conclusion that gold bull market is not over yet, and will continue to appreciate against the currencies it is measured, then silver is a leveraged way to play gold. This is because throughout history, silver follows the direction and outperforms gold in percentage terms on the way up. The downside is, it has an equal effect on the way down. It is widely referred to as gold on steroids, so trade and invest carefully!
Another thing to note is the gold to silver ratio. Currently 1 oz of gold is equal to 62 oz of silver. People that have studied history will know that this ratio will eventually need to return to 15. Ie 1 oz of gold is equal to 15 oz of silver. Silver has a lot of catching up to do and is undervalued when priced against gold given the historical ratio and deserving some thought when choosing between gold or silver.
