Sail on, silver girl. The white metal may not have quite the fabled haven allure of gold, but its recent rise has tracked the yellow metal's surge, rising to about $18 an ounce. Like gold, silver is being propelled by demand from exchange traded funds as investors dump eurozone sovereign debt and bank equity. That is in marked contrast to silver's sell-off in 2008, when investment demand failed to halt its slide with the downturn to below $15 an ounce.
