The Optimum Gold / Silver Ratio

The “optimum gold/silver ratio” is an interesting question, because in prior centuries the ratio was based on both being monetary metals. The two metals previously had little practical day to day use for common people (except monetary), and they functioned mostly as status symbols of wealth and power for the privileged. All that changed with the industrial revolution, when silver slowly started playing an essential role in technology. Today’s gold/silver ratio is based on gold being primarily a monetary metal, and silver being primarily an industrial metal, thus making the gold/silver ratio very unstable. Let’s start by examining some historical facts to see where we came from, where we are now, and finally, the unknown Event Horizon we are heading toward that will establish the future gold/silver ratio. The earth currently yields about 80 million ounces of gold per year, and about 650 million ounces of silver per year.
