Since the highs back in 2011, Gold and Silver have NOT been a good asset to own, when it comes to the buy and hold strategy. Could this theme be about to change?

Below looks at the Silver (SLV)/Gold (GLD) ratio over  the past 10-years.

The SLV/GLD ratio remains inside of clean falling channel (1), where the ratio has created a series of lower highs and lower lows for years. Currently the ratio looks to be forming a descending triangle, just below falling resistance at (2).

If the ratio breaks out, of falling channel (1) and above last year highs, it would send a positive risk on message not seen in years. If a breakout takes place at (2), several metals plays should look attractive!
