In the article below Hubert Moolman explains why he expects silver to reach $140 in 2012 and I tend to agree. As he argues, gold has broken it's 1980 high alread four years ago and is now already at more than double that $800 high of 1980. Silver is still below the 1980 high of $50. It is inevitable that silver will catch up to gold and when you listen to Eric Sprott explaining that gold and silver have been selling 1:1 (in value) for quite some time, it just makes sense that silver will catch up and likely soon.
