With Gold doing really well all these days where the prices have been surging to new all time highs regularly, investors are embracing Gold and adding the commodity to their reserves. With dollar continuing to remain weak. Silver, the other traditionally popular precious metal, has seen its standing decline in relation to gold in recent times because of the high use of silver metal for many industrial purposes.

I think it is a good time to go for silver as well, with the price movements is merely a reflection of its properties being an industrial as well as precious metal. This is because silver maintains a more than 90% positive correlation with both gold as well as copper, a quintessential industrial metal which is used for various purposes. The silver prices follow the trend of gold prices many a time, while the price swings is more due to its correlation with copper. So I think its a good time to lay one's hand on the white metal also......

silver is the next metal to go for boom phase once gold goes out of hand for investments.the retail india will be one of the major buyers of silver in the coming days.when gold will cross 25000 in indian terms in the next 5 years silver will be the only option to go for.So invest in silver and wait like gold in the coming days.

Silver is a good investment as compared to other commodities but few investors are inclined to it. May be because most the investors are not aware of it since gold takes most of the shine. Silver is mostly used in industry hence the demand for it is always exists.

In this market condition the metals are best investment alternative so the question is which one should prefer? whether gold or silver or other metal?

Heare is the simple answer that is Silver. 

because silver is a very good hedging instrument to over come the market volatility and get the sustain return, if you see the last years return silver has given a very good return compare to gold almost double reson is simple its cost so the retail and Institutional investors have shown good interest than gold.   Silver has given the high yield than gold by its cost and avilablity. so retail investors will prefer silver rather than gold.

The price is  based on the basic fundamental that is deman and supply. which made the silver to outperfom the market since last few months.

Based on the above points  we can conclude that selver is out performer than the gold. So i will give my vote to silver rather than gold.

The transactional exposure for silver is high than gold.

I agree with Jyoti. The silver prices follow the trend of gold prices many a time, while the price swings is more due to its correlation with copper. So it will be wise to invest on silver also....

Silver is a mass consumption product whose price is linked to gold. So, till the time gold is shining, silver will also shine but not as an investment options. Anybody who wants to put in money in silver has to do trading only to make money.

This is right that as Gold is doing Silver must do but to my mind silver is more volatile then Gold and risky too. so Gold is best.

No, I don't think investment in GOld/SILVER at present situation is a good option unless and until your horizon of investment is very long term. Silver is 90% corelated to gold, it's prices also moves upward when $ declines however I feel that both GOLD AND SILVER are already overpriced and breach the highest barrier. 

As US economy is coming out of recession and starts showing improvement. So, I think $ is going to strengthen but the process will be very slow. 

Investment is not good for short-medium term time horizon, you will lose money.
