Silver has had quite a run the last couple months... so it's no surprise that it has gained much attention and interest from investors - even more so than gold.

Why do recessions, and extreme turmoil, often lead to a massive spike in the gold/silver ratio or, asked differently, why does gold often go up, and silver stays flat (or falls) during such occasions?
