  6. Investors often use ratios when predicting where the values of assets are likely headed. For example, equity investors look at the price-to-earnings, price-to-book, and price-to-sales ratios when determining whether a stock is undervalued, overvalued, or trading at a fair market valuation. But silver and gold aren’t companies. They don’t generate profits and have no earnings, book, or sales to value. Instead gold and silver investors have looked at the gold-silver ratio to help value these precious metals. This ratio compares the price of gold to the price of silver based on the idea that their historical valuations follow predictable patterns. For example, if the gold-silver ratio is 10-to-1, it means that gold is currently trading at 10 times the value of silver. Before the 1900s, this ratio stayed generally flat at 16-to-1 through history, meaning that if an ounce of silver was worth $5, the price of gold would be $80 per ounce, according to Provident Metals.
