In today's "$10,000 in..." post, we're looking at the silver ETF (SLV) that began trading back in 2006. Similar to the gold ETF (GLD), SLV allowed investors to gain exposure to silver in traditional brokerage accounts.

So how would an investor have done hypothetically putting $10,000 into the silver ETF back in 2006 when it launched? As shown below, that $10k would be worth a little more than $18,500 today. You would still not even have a doubling of your money more than 18 years later.

As shown below, instead of buying SLV when it launched in 2006, had you bought the gold ETF instead, the $10k would now be worth about $35,400.

Back in the early 2010s, SLV kept up with GLD for a bit, but it has lagged pretty badly for the last ten years.

As always, past performance is no guarantee of future results.
