Gavin Graham iShares Silver ETF SLV-N BUY Sep 16, 2010

Silver ETF. Great thing about this is that you get 10 ounces of silver. A pure play and you don't have to worry about individual companies operations. On the other hand, if you have a Silver company, you get the leverage.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jan 07/20, Up 0.3%) Silver has been going down. But now we are seeing a bump positive. Unfortunately Silver is finished its seasonal strength.
TOP PICK
Silver does better later and will catch up to the gold rally. He owns both minerals. This is a pure play on the silver commodity, so no worries about jurisdiction risk in individual silver stocks.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jul 13/20, Up 35%) Demand for solar panels is most of it. There is demand growth going forward.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jul 13/20, Up 36%) Would be inclined to go into silver than gold for new money. Has been a disappointment relative to what he thought it should do. Economically sensitive. Used in solar panels and 5G technologies. Lots of applications driving demand. If the USD weakens, then silver would be even more attractive.
BUY
options There's been call-buying here, huge ones, on the August 20 strikes. He's in them.
DON'T BUY

Likes gold, but not silver, being leery of any industrial metal because of the high costs of mining and manufacturing. 

TOP PICK

Under weighted on S&P 500. Commodity demand with electrification. Acts as a hedge on inflation. Geopolitical pressures also increase value of silver (hard assets). Upside for patient investors. 

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Apr 26/24, Up 16%)

Inflation hedge, but also a great degree of industrial and economic sensitivity. That's what we're seeing in the price in the last few days. When the gold:silver ratio spikes, which it is now, that's a recessionary indicator. Silver is harder right now. 

If he's up right now, he's keeping it on a short leash. If he wants to expand his exposure, he wants to see follow through in the markets first. If we are heading into a full-blown recession, silver goes a lot lower.

BUY
Silver.

Silver is a levered play on gold and on the economy. If he's right and things go better than expected, silver probably explodes higher and will outperform gold.

BUY

Likes silver over gold right now, and likes this ETF. Up 41% YTD. SVR is hedged, so you don't get the lift of the US dollar moving higher or depreciation if it moves lower. If you have USD to spend, buy the SLV.
