The PureFunds™ ISE Junior Silver ETF (SILJ-N) is surrounded by mixed expert opinions that highlight both the potential and risks associated with investing in junior silver miners. Experts note that while the assets can yield high covered-call-option premiums due to their inherent volatility, a significant portion of investors might prefer directly owning silver bullion to avoid management and operational concerns. Despite recent gains in silver, caution is advised against chasing after price surges, with recommendations leaning toward foundational base metals as alternatives. Furthermore, with precious metals entering potentially prolonged bull markets, it's crucial to focus on top-tier operators and to recognize silver's tendency to outperform during market maturation phases. The general consensus indicates a preference for quality and caution in approaching investments in this sector.

Junior silver miners will always be volatile, so you'll get a high covered-call-option premium. If you really need the income then, sure, use the covered call strategy. But 9/10 times, you do better owning the underlying securities.

Silver's had a tremendous run, be cautious about chasing. He prefers to own the bullion itself, as you don't have to worry about management or operations.

Instead, look to base metals like DBB.

BUY

Precious metals bull markets tend to go on for 8-10 years -- they happen in phases, with 2 or 3 good-sized corrections along the way. The correction in early fall was shallower and lasted less time than he expected. He's fully positioned in precious metals.

Once a bull market starts to really mature, silver has a tendency to outperform and it's now doing that. It's famously volatile. Always stay with the best-in-class operators and the best assets. He doesn't want to gamble on hope. 

Classic inflation hedge if you think one of the biggest risks to portfolios is inflation.

DON'T BUY

How to Play Silver. There are three different ways to play: Seniors (SLVP-N), Juniors (SILJ-N) or the metal, SIL-N. He would buy SIL-N on dips. But if the US$ gets stronger in the interim, then it would mitigate some of your gains.
