I thought the silver high in 1980 was caused by an attempt to corner the market. Curious to see the relationship between silver and gold prices since 1970.

The same thing is happening now, only in reverse. The larger financial institutions hold massive short positions in silver. Eventually they will have to cover.

There was an attempt to corner the market in 1980. Silver is such a tiny market that individual billionaires could single handedly do it.

Google “gold silver ratio” for that kind of graph and a lot of commentary on what people think the ration “should” be.
