Who is good at math?

I suspect that silver will outperform gold. If silver gains two percent daily, and gold one percent, where would the price be six months out? A year? Two years? What about if silver were to gain three percent daily, compared to gold one per cent? Just an exercise in number crunching, not a prediction, but I'd be curious to see where those kind of numbers would take us. Is there an online calculator for this kind of thing? :?:

it would be (1+k)^n

k=percent gain
n=number of periods

I don't think you need to divide k by n

ok, so that's a bit excessive, even for hyperinflation scenario. How about if silver increased two percent a week, compared to one per cent for gold? Or silver three percent a month, compared to one percent gold? :geek:

I think the first set of numbers Silver $62.50, Gold $2221 35.5:1 Gold to Silver ratio may be a fairly accurate guess as to the market prices a year from now. :P Thanks, Eric ;)
