The silver-versus-gold spread (December silver into December gold, ~1.24%) is breaking a four-year trendline and approaching a multi-year ceiling at 1.31%; prior such breakouts (1979 and 2010-11) preceded silver quintupling in five months and rising 2.5x in seven months, and silver could rapidly reach $150-200 within six months, with the ratio potentially tripling toward 3%+ as in 2011.
