Gold is a more consistent performer than silver. In bear markets gold does not fall as hard as silver but also does not rise as sharply in bull markets. This is due, in part, because the silver market is much smaller than the gold market and existing stocks of gold can be used to smooth out any excess demand requirements. A far greater percentage of silver’s demand is satisfied from current mining production.
