No Silver Lining for Precious Metal Bugs

Terrible and deceptive analysis. Just because silver outgains gold on one day doesn't mean anything. If you're going to make long-term predictions, you need to analyze a period of more than 1 day. From Oct 31 to Nov 24, Gold outgained silver 13.4% vs 8.9%. Those dates are arbitrary though. I'm sure you could pick a different period of time and get completely different results. I'm not saying gold is better than silver. I really don't know. Just saying you can't read anything into one day's price movement.
