Silver or Gold you choose

Silver has had such a run that I was chatting to Shaza the other day "is silver following gold? Or is gold now following silver? Had I taken 20k in January 2009 and put it in gold at an average of 900/ounce today I would have 22 ounces and 31k in gold. Had I put 20k into silver during the same time period at about 11.50 I would have about 1750 ounces. At todays price I would have 60k in silver. Now I am averaging the prices and rounding numbers, but you get the idea. Silver as small as that market is has made its owners a lot more money, but it takes up a lot more space. It is easy to move around 22 ounces as opposed to 1750, but I would never have believed in 2009 that silver would outperform gold on this level.
