What is the Gold to Silver ratio? and why is it so important to us stackers? #192
For what reason do we track the gold to silver (GSR) ratio?
What is the gold to silver ratio?
Basically, this is the measure of silver oz's it takes to get 1oz of gold. That implies at todays rate of 1-76, it takes 76 oz's of silver to get 1 oz of gold. Alot of individuals utilize sites and diagrams to track the GTS rate yet I fundamentally partition the spot cost of gold by the spot cost of silver. In view of the present metal costs gold £976.03 separated by silver £12.91 gives us 75.60, so today GSR is adjusted to 1-76.
Why is this important if i plan to only to stack silver?
Watching out for the GRS ratio by checking it like clockwork will give you a decent vibe for when it is a decent time to add silver to your stack. At the point when the ratio is high, it is a decent time to stack as silver is undervalued more. At the point when the ratio is low, it is smarter to not purchase silver until the point that the ratio rises again, experienced stackers will change over silver into gold and a couple will swap to purchasing gold. I for one intend to swap out around 450 oz's of silver if the proportion ever hits 1-45 to get 10 oz of gold. This last happened mid 2011 and with the ways things are I don't hold my breath during the current day to be soon.
What is the historical backdrop of the GSR proportion?
Truly since 1687 the ratio has seen lows of 1-14 and highs of 1-100. The ratio was truly level preceding 1900 remaining around 1-16 as gold and silver were utilized as monetary standards by numerous nations. Amid these circumstances bunches of nations including the USA and France set statutory points of confinement on what the proportion could be to guarantee it remained unfaltering. Since the mid 1900's, the avg proportion of gold to silver has arrived at the midpoint of 1-47 with gigantic swings and an unequaled high of 1-100 back in day, in 1991. On the off chance that you take a gander at the graph underneath, you will see that the ratio begins to go insane after the fed bank is started up.
Would money be able to be made by exchanging the gold to silver ratio?
Its beyond any doubt you can, there is a graph underneath demonstrating what could have been done in the course of recent years. It isn't something I have ever done yet as I said above, I will swap silver for gold when it hits 1-45. This done in light of beginning with a 100 oz of gold and adhering to basic tenets of exchanging when the ratio is 1-45 and 1-80. Swap into silver at 1-80 and swap into gold at 1-45, sounds simple, right? You would have preformed 7 exchanges over the past 30 years and finished with 44,949 oz's of silver. Your starting stack would have been 100 oz gold in 1985 costing £32,700 and completing in 2015 with 44,949 oz's of silver worth £470,466. Presently when you surmise that silver hit its record-breaking low in 2015, there could have been more cash to be made holding until after brexit happen. I have 30 years until retirement so in the event that it drops to 1-45, I may play this ratio swapping game.
Begin with 100 oz of gold.
Note: ( I love a few numbers )
In late 1989 when the ratio is at 80, change over the 100 oz of gold to 8,000 oz of silver.
In mid 1998 when the ratio is at 45, change over 8,000 oz of silver to 177.8 oz of gold.
In late 2003 when the ratio is at 80, change over 177.8 oz of gold to 14,222 oz of silver.
In mid 2006 when the ratio is at 45, change over 14,222 oz of silver to 316 z of gold.
In late 2008 when the ratio is at 80, change over 316 oz of gold to 25,284 oz of silver.
In mid 2011 when the ratio is at 45, change over 25,284 oz of silver to 561.9 oz of gold.
In mid 2016 when the ratio is around 80, change over 561.9 oz of gold to 44,949 oz of silver.
To entirety up, as I compose this the gold to silver ratio is more than 76 and silver is nearing a 21 year low with respect to gold. So regardless whether significant metals go up are down, in the fleeting silver ought to beat gold for next couple of years. There are no fast rich plans when it come to stacking are playing the GSR ratio however the outline above demonstrate's that sticking to a basic plan can give great yields. I simply need to get that 100 oz's of gold to begin :)
For me the GSR ratio is something I watch. It doesn't influence my purchasing are what I purchase as a stacker however in the event that the proportion ever hits 1-45, it will end up being a critical factor of my stacking plan as this is a piece of the retirement fund and i will try my best min my risk when i decide to play. For you, take the data gave and go out and get more. You can never need to much data, this is even more an apprentices manage.

Nice post. Agreed the Gold to Silver ratio is important to watch. Good game plan!
I could be another 10 years before the ratio drops, i dont care, i love silver. ha
Thanks for commenting buddy.
If one could travel thru time, one could exchange $20 gold for $75 silver.
If one could, one could indeed lose a life's worth of money
Pro moves man and great buy/sell points -- i think i'll add these ratio numbers to my game plan. Cheers!
Its nice to have options you have already researched and planned if opportunity's comes and go' quickly. I already know what silver i will swap out but i smoke alot and share at the screen thinking for extended periods of time, lol
Failing to plan = planning to fail
I like your idea for swapping at 45:1
However, i may hold some back as i think there will be a moment when Ag goes totally fuck-tard and shoots to 35 or 30:1 even...
Cool I like what ya did here nice post
Thanks buddy, glad you enjoyed it.
You stack? are interested? are neither?
Just got into stacking around June, silver was my first interest but got a little gold on the way
Nothing wrong with a little gold. You use the tag #steemsilvergold buddy? There is a wealth of information on there for stackers.
And good on you for starting to stack, its a good time to jump in :D
Awesome I would have never thought to look at this as I've just been introduced to this thanks to steemit and the silvergold community, but very informative article!
Your welcome buddy. We are always learning and that's a good thing. Thanks for reading and commenting.
Nice post. 2 other points come to my mind. 1) the actual mine yield is about 10 to 1 - meaning they pull out about 10 ozs of silver to every oz of gold. So the ratio should be closer to 10 to 1, that would put silver at about $130/oz. 2) If you're willing to take a risk, take a look at the silver mining stocks. The beating of the silver price has put many of them out of business and the remaining one's stock prices are very depressed. If silver (physical) does a moon shot, the stocks should also do well.
I am aware of the mining ratio's. Its crazy they can mess with the price so much for so long. I remember around brixit time, silver mine shares were doing very well. Its something i know nothing about and paying the education in mistakes to learn and game that game is beyond my potential.
Thanks for reading and commenting buddy. Stack on!! Viva La Silver!!
I don't think the mistakes are due to a lack of knowledge (Ya sound pretty smart to me). I think we make mistakes because they manipulate the market and how can anyone predict why, when and what their attack will be. All I am hoping for is the bottom to drop out of their manipulation tricks. Stack and steem on.
Stacking and steeming is the main plan, build the base then start playing the field.
Stack on Bud :)
Agreed. My plan is to rely primarily on tangible assets but to take a percentage to dabble in crypto. I don't feel very confident in cryptos because they are intangible but they do appear to be the highest yielding currently.
I think we share alot of of the same views
You're right. Have a nice day.
Looking at them charts the next correction in the ratio is about due and i think it will approach 1:10 because there will be one helluva lot of upward pressure on silver when the manipulation finally ends and the whole planet finally rediscovers silvers true value, but more so now than in the past as silver will be a major player in the energy sector.
Interesting read silverstackuk
I guessed at 1;10 because as thedamus says the ratios will go bonkers for a while while the metals find their true market values. But silver according to Cliff High is going to be thee most sought after metal because of its unique properties, espeically within the energy sector, so it may even go to 1:1 or better.
1-10 and i cry. That would mean at today's price of gold being around £1000 and silver being £13, a ratio at 1-10 with gold spot remaining the same, silver would be around £100 funny enough. lol. (i just worked that out on the calculator before i thought, its 10% numb nuts)
Gold i think would need to be alot higher, maybe over the 5k mark before this is possible. It could happen :-)
Stick to your plan, but maybe alter the plan so you have some silver bullets to sell if/when the ratio goes bonkers...
