CFTC Directors Neglecting Their Duties With Respect To The Silver MarketThe silver market has been and is currently being manipulated. As a consequence, silver prices have been kept dirt cheap for decades. This is both good and bad.The good part: with "below free-market" price levels, silver is cheap to buy. In fact, it's a lot less expensive to buy pure bullion silver (Ag) than it is to mine the

The gold to silver ratio is the price of an ounce of gold divided by the price of an ounce of silver.If the price of gold equals $633.46 per ounce and silver goes for $14.41 per ounce a simple calculation yields a gold/silver ratio of 43.96Some time, within the last couple of years, Ted Butler wrote: "gold sells for more than 60 times the price of silver". That corresponds to a gold/silver ratio

In January of 1981 the price for a barrel of oil was $38.75. Realize that we are talking about the price for a barrel using "1981 dollars".If we figure out what that price translates into, using real, inflation-adjusted dollars, that 1981 barrel of oil would cost $86.71 in today's dollars.Now consider this...On 20 September 2005 the spot price for a barrel of crude oil in 2005 dollars was $65.90!
