Gold continue to be in the limelight. Gold seem to be unstoppable in recent weeks as it making new high for the year. Everybody seems to love gold recently as it is the best investment tool currently. Gold offer the protection of weak dollar, a defensive play by nature and also benefit from the commodities rally.

While many people are buying gold, I would like to point out that Gold trade might be overbought recently. Alternative to gold, silver is another option to be considered. So far, Silver had not been in the limelight and it is at a better buying price than gold. Thus, Silver seems to be the best alternative for Gold trading.

In conclusion, Silver will likely to benefit from the rise of the Gold.
