Gold vs. Silver

[FXexpert]

Which do you prefer to trade, Gold or Silver or both & why? I'd like to get everyone's input on this!

I'd go with silver, when it comes to investment, since is almost at par with gold, it is a hedge against inflation, and it will soon overtake gold's position in the charts being a precious metal in-demand in the computer hardware industry while gold's resources are almost depleted.

Well.... Silver could be used too to protect against inflaction

I've found this fact while I was trying to look for answers about this question.

"No doubt, in the natural, what they are saying has some validity, that silver will outperform gold in the long run. And when the dollar finally collapses and becomes worthless, silver and gold values will find their final resting places dictated by world-wide supply and demand. For example, using the arbitrary numbers of $10 per ounce for silver and $600 an ounce for gold, silver could easily reach $110 per ounce ($10 per ounce times 11 = $110) and gold could easily reach $3,000 ($600 per ounce times 5 = $3,000)."

I'd go with gold right now, but not to trade, just to 'stock' for the future. We're into 'bullion' and we have already started buying few coins to keep. I am more inclined to 'own' the gold, than just trade it.

Owning gold involves 'paying for storage'. Are you OK with it?

[mckenzie101]

Silver has considerably outperformed gold and other precious metals in recent times due to increased demand. I think precious metals in general have been a gold mine in recent times so i would be happy with either gold or silver but if i was buying right now it would be silver.

My take on the Gold and Silver since im a technicals trader it doesn't matter, which ever chart its giving me the signals I trade. As far as the gold bugs and dollar collapsers' which I am one. I personally believe we are 10-15yrs from that time and we will see a repeat of the 80's retrace, silver go back down to 15-20$ and gold around 1300-1400$.
Then it will make the real bull rally. I could be totally wrong, and I do hold physical silver and gold but as a hedge of inflation/collapse, so it doesnt matter to me what my physical is nominally valued at in terms of fiat currency.

Easy Trader, do you think it's safe to sell gold now (short-term), as it seems to be in a range under EMA-100?

[Easy Trader]

Personally Im waiting for more info, I think 1700. is going to give some good resistance.
If we got a bull run up to there and some price action I would sell, but it may just box up above the 16 for awhile and I just dont want to get caught in that guessing game. Alot of buyers got shaken out on the last drop, and if the FED decides to assist the US economy in the next few months I think the big money will run back into stocks thus loosing more buyers. I also personally dont think anyone is shorting either......other than JP morgan...lol....Ill meet ya back here when it does happen though
