If so, why? I've gathered that silver production is far lower relative to gold production.

There is plenty to read on this subject - suggest googling Eric Sprott for starters....

EDIT - silver is generally considered to have a high beta relative to gold...

I think that if you will invest your money in kotak etf gold. Then you will get good returns on your investment.

Silver is great, but you have to take into account how much more volatile it is than Gold. If you keep that in mind it's not really that different. To get a good example of this check out what silver did in 09-11 some massive moves.
The best indicator is price.

In my opinion silver is not better than gold. Gold has its own worth and quality. In general or in trade gold made a man crazy. So i think Gold's trade will give you better benefits.

first:

http://www.usdebtclock.org/gold-precious-metals.html

based on this numbers reserves last ABOUT

Gold 18years
Silver 21.5years

Ask yourself, where is all the mined gold?
- Central banks hold a big part of it
- Industrial use
- The rest is in privat Hands (jewelry
- a few tons lie on the ground of the ocean

Where is all the Silver?
- do central banks hold Silver (i guess no but there is rumor that china buys silver)
- Industial use of course
- Privat hands for sure (demand is rising)

The point most of the mined gold is packed together in stores, the amount used and spread in industial use is very small 11%
compared to silver. The problem is silver is used in very small units and at the moment not properly recycled as it is "too cheap"
to recycle smallest amounts (that will change in the future).

gold is much better than silver. for starters, I think gold is going to get officially re-monetized in some way as part of a new international monetary agreement; I don't think the same can be said for silver, and this is the biggest consideration in my opinion. Moreover, the story regarding supply and demand in silver is far from clear. here's a video and discussion that elaborates: http://www.informedtrades.com/741436...-shortage.html

Silver is a very good investment IN THE LONG RUN. (Physical silver)

Gold is great too, but some silver advantages outweigh those of golds:

1,Silver has always been used as money, since money is money.

2,Silver is much more rare than gold.

3,Silver has such a low price now that miners barely make any profit.

4,Demand for silver is rising by the day as technology advances, this is more true to silver than gold.

5,Unique properties of silver means it can be used in nearly everything around us.

If there ever was to be a financial disaster, both gold and silver would make you rich, but considering these properties, silver will be worth more percentage wise what ever happens in the future.

I believe that silver is a good investment at this time. I believe that it will become more valuable in the future as the demand for silver goes up.I believe that it has more actually functions in a useful way than does Gold.

That depends on what planet you live on. But i do think one of us is uninformed (lets not say "uneducated").
