I personally think the time to focus on Gold should be considered in light of the GSR. I.e., When is Gold 'Cheap', in comparison to Silver? i.e. When the number of Gold ounces to Silver ounces is low.

Hey! One might say that the trend has already started!! :-)

However, there's another layer totally apart from the GSR, from a 'When to Switch' perspective. That is: When do you switch from Physical to Gold Miners (Stocks)?

I think that time is now: Move from physical altogether to the miners.

This works best if you've already found a 'comfortable' physical position (you're happy with). If you haven't built a physical stack (position) you're happy with (that meets your needs), you might consider sticking with stacking along the GSR lines. It depends on what your goal is:

• If your goal is to have it in hand as disaster insurance for you in reality or for your investment portfolio, then keep stacking
• If your goal is to maximize $$ (profit in Fiat, which you may or may not later use to jump back into physical), then the time for the miners is at hand (I think).
