Though gold is still outperforming YTD for now...
But, as tsi-blog.com explains, silver is set to continue outperforming over the next year.
Gold is more money-like and silver is more commodity-like. Consequently, the relationships that we follow involving the gold/GNX ratio (the gold price relative to the price of a basket of commodities) also apply to the gold/silver ratio.
