I think this is the cheapest money of the last 50 years, at least.

Maybe the cheapest money in history.

Starting about a year ago and running through June of this year I have been nibbling in silver whenever the price was below $15.00/oz. The silver gold price ratio has been (and remains) very high from an historical perspective which suggests that silver is somewhat cheap relative to gold. I think that little speculation is starting to pay off.
