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.
