At what GSR would you swap from silver to gold?

    People say silver is the better choice right now due to the GSR being pretty unbalanced. At what point do you all plan to make the swap (if ever)? If/when the GSR reaches this hypothetical point, would that make gold the better buy (regardless of price)?

    Ridiculous, I round it up to 32.2, a much more realistic goal.

    I think a staged approach is necessary, there is no need to commit all your silver in one go, swap a percentage at one GSR, if the GSR keeps moving favourably then swap some more, repeat until you run out of silver or the GSR tells you to.

    I kinda like gold better, so I would just swap silver to gold regardless of the GSR. Lol

    At 32.15, it translates as 1kg silver for 1oz gold.

    Who's the silly one?

    Anyone who causes confusion by mixing units of measurement, or doesn't show their working :)

    I am not holding out that long, I will start swapping around 45.

    32:1 would be nice.

    But I'll shoot for 40:1, so 5kg silver = 4oz gold.

    at 55 I'd swap to buying gold at 45 if start swapping silver for gold.
    Having said that i bet lots of people would have said that the would have happily traded gold for platinum if it ever hit 1:1 but i bet nobody will give me a half oz gold proof something for my half oz proof platinum koala. The value perception has changed.

    I swap when silver gets too bulky to fit into my bug out bag.
