Gold and silver are valuable metals that people invest in. Experts compare their prices using something called the gold/silver ratio. This shows how many ounces of silver you can buy with one ounce of gold.


Since 2011, gold has become more valuable compared to silver. In 2020, during the COVID-19 crisis, gold was especially strong.


Recently, silver has been doing well, but some experts think this might change soon. They're looking at things like the stock market and interest rates to guess what might happen next.


One expert, Mike McGlone, thinks the current situation looks like what happened between 2005 and 2009. Back then, gold started to become much more valuable than silver. He thinks this might happen again.


Right now, one ounce of gold can buy about 78 ounces of silver. McGlone thinks this number might not go much lower, meaning gold could stay stronger than silver.


Both gold and silver are seen as good investments when the economy is uncertain. Investors might want to consider buying both, but should watch how things change over time.
