This summary was created by AI, based on 2 opinions in the last 12 months.

Experts seem to favor the iShares Silver ETF (SLV) primarily due to its performance and positioning in the market. With a year-to-date increase of 41%, the ETF is attracting attention, especially from those who currently prefer silver over gold. One expert highlights that SLV, being hedged, won't fully capitalize on the fluctuations of the US dollar, indicating a need for careful consideration for USD holders looking to invest. The sentiment leans towards the idea that silver offers a leveraged play on economic recovery and gold performance. If conditions improve, silver prices are expected to surge, potentially outpacing gold, making SLV an attractive option for those optimistic about the economy.

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.
