Silver will eventually move back to the 17:1 ratio it comes out of the ground. May be slightly better since silver has actual industrial and medical uses. Right now though silver is very highly manipulated and it will be awhile before the paper silver issue is fixed.

If gold is lets say 2500 an ounce that would make silver around 150. The thing about gold is that it takes the same amount of gold to buy a loaf of bread today as it did two centuries ago. Golds real value hasnt changed. Its the fiat currency whose value has been reduced.
