Author argues silver's ~50.7 gold/silver ratio shows silver at a dangerous premium and is rotating into relatively discounted gold, citing margin-hike risk as the catalyst that could deflate silver.
Unpriced research observations (excluded from Calls and Returns):
XAUUSD — LONG The author argues gold is the undervalued leg of the gold/silver pair because the gold/silver ratio at roughly 50.7 puts silver in historically 'expensive' territory while gold has lagged the rally and trades at a relative discount. He is rotating capital into gold as the defensive play, expecting the ratio to normalize back toward its historical range. The stated catalyst is a potential SEBI or COMEX margin hike that would wash out leveraged silver holders and push flows toward gold. The author's own caveat is that he is 'not saying the run is over' in silver. Exact non-equity contract requires separate historical validation; no generic proxy.
Mathematically, Gold is the defensive play. Its trading at a much fairer value while Silver is priced for perfection.
