In times of high demand that ratio could conceivably compress to almost 8 to 1.

In a blowoff phase of the coming correction those numbers might actually be 20-50% conservative. These are todays values, not accounting for any coming hyper inflation.

Copper will be the new money as it will be the only commodity readily avaliable enough to circulate as currency. However gold and silver will still be currency.

    Mike, what was the dollar worth then (1903). A $20.00 bill, was it one ounce of gold?
