I am a big advocate of the gold-silver ratio. 
So what is going on?
It is pretty obvious what is happening. The markets has been rigged and the Gold-Silver Ratio is still high predicting a collapse in the markets. So it is still predicting the inevitable while markets continues to be held up by cheap currency floating into the global economy from reckless banksters and economists.
What will happen now in 2018? I see a lot of dark clouds surrounding the FED and other Central Banks around the world. Their policies are collapsing as they are trying to fix policies that are failing in the first place. Manipulators like the Exchange Stabilization Fund that is there to make sure markets are kept afloat are still lurking in the shadow off the books derivative markets around the world manipulating the stability of the global fiat system to keep it alive for another day.
As the demolition of the current monetary system happens will the gold silver ratio go back to it's historical average of 15:1 again?
We are nearing the end of yet another Central Bank cycle and Gold, Silver and now the Fiat Fractional Reserve System nemesis the decentralized cryptocurrencies will destroy the remnants of the yet again failing system.
2018 could be the year when the system finally collapse and out of the ashes a free market Phoenix will arise!
