The artificial price manipulation is still in place with 1,000+ pieces of paper gold for each physical ounce in existence.

Its like a gift waiting for your taking, because when the price manipulation is over metals are headed parabolic, silver is actually a better investment as it is tremendously undervalued compared to gold, the historical ratio is 10 to 1 , (silvers value to gold) and currently its valued at around 84 to 1. Silver exists in the earths crust at approximately 10 to 1 so its going to get back to its 10 to 1 ratio sooner than later.
