This summary was created by AI, based on 1 opinions in the last 12 months.

Experts are generally optimistic about the iShares Silver ETF (SLV), noting its impressive performance with a 41% year-to-date increase. The current market sentiment leans favorably towards silver compared to gold, which bolsters confidence in this ETF as a good investment vehicle. However, it is essential to consider that the SLV is hedged against the US dollar fluctuations, meaning investors might not fully capitalize on the dollar's movements, whether up or down. Those with USD available for investment are encouraged to consider purchasing SLV, particularly if they share the positive outlook for silver in the current economic climate. Overall, SLV appears to be a promising choice for those looking to diversify their portfolios with a silver-centric investment.

Valuation

DON'T BUY

Silver ETF. Silver is at a speculative stage. These trusts have options available on them so if you are going into silver at all, he would be writing covered calls against them. He wouldn't be comfortable holding this.

COMMENT

Silver ETF. When playing anything as volatile as silver or gold, he doesn't want the options.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick Oct 2/09, Up 50%) Sold half his position at a great profit. Will let the rest ride for a while. Suspects gold will go to $1500 and will drag silver with it.

BUY

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 Oct 2/09. Up 16.7%.) There are times when gold is so irrational you can use a product that tends to track gold that is not so violent and moves a little slower.

BUY

He likes silver, even more than gold. This is currently right around the 50 day moving average. Long-term he feels silver will move up with gold.

TOP PICK

iShares Silver ETF. There has been a de-coupling of the relationship between gold and silver prices. One of 2 things has to happen. Either gold has to come off significantly or silver has to move up.

BUY

Silver ETF. There is a long established relationship between silver and gold. Silver will be a beneficiary of the reduction in the value of currency.

BUY

Silver ETF. This one actually holds physical silver, not a futures or derivative-based exposure. Low MER.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Mar 2/07. Up 49%.) Still a Buy. Likes precious metals as an inflation hedge.

TOP PICK

Likes gold and silver and feels the demand going forward will increase. Present price gives a buying opportunity.

DON'T BUY

Q: As we are on the verge of a recession, with a weakening US$, what about gold or silver ETF’s? A: Exactly the same conditions occurred in 1974 and gold stocks got slaughtered.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick April 3/06. Down 16%.) Before averaging down, he will let it settle. Likes gold and silver longer term.

BUY

If you are looking out three years, and you want a full contingent of silver exposure, this is a defensive wait to play it.
