Here is the two year chart for Silver, which is what I follow most closely. In that period, I believe the high for gold has been in the $1700s per oz. Platinum is generally a little higher than gold, but occasionally below gold if I remember correctly. Well, I have tried twice to transfer the chart from Market Watch, but no luck. Around 20 months ago silver hit a high around $42, then it dropped and mostly hovered between $34 and $32. This is a noticeable drop. Cause? The Xmas Valentines Day season is over. No jewelry until Mothers day. Less silver for photography and industrial purposes, especially given Sequester fears. Any other guesses??
one little known fact in silvers favor...
There is now more physical ounces of gold then silver available in manufactured form...
