The silver price is improving on the chart and is also improving against gold.

The recent bettering of daily overhead resistance at $10.40 has resulted is a quick increase of 11% in a matter of a few days. The few US banks appear to be losing their manipulative grip on the silver market. Once resistance at $14 is cleared, it's all over for them IMHO. Hasta la vista you pig bankers.

Even silver is outperforming gold lately. The ratio between gold and silver closed lower today at 75.87, meaning one ounce of gold buys 75.87 ounces of silver. The historical ratio high was tested in early October at the 90 level and initially collapsed to 75 followed by consolidation for some weeks between about 90 and the 70 to 73 levels. The past ascending 50 day moving average line has now flattened out in the lower section of the range and appears to be turning down. This could be representing an early sign that silver is in the process of catching up in relative strength against gold and possibly taking on a renewed shine with potential buyers. The lower the ratio goes the better it usually is for silver overall.

I was unable to transfer the gold/silver ratio chart from http://www.stockcharts.com but you can access it easily by keying in the symbol $GOLD:$SILVER.

Go silver! Go ECU!
