The squeeze wouldn’t be on $SLV. The squeeze would be on the physical silver. Which would increase the price of $SLV. And if they are creating more $SLV units that takes more bars off the market that become allocated to $SLV and not otherwise deliverable. Unless of course two of the largest banks in the world are committing indisputable black and white fraud as many other posting on this thread think they are. Squeezing an etf or etf-like instrument like $SLV makes no sense on its own. At least that half of the argument they get right.

You really think so? $SLV

Depends if folks get the Margin calls and are forced to sell the $SLV and $GLD to pay for their lack of risk management.

$GLD $SLV $JNUG $USLV are going up over 1,000% like in 2013/2013. Trump will shrink the dollar the market will crash, nothing will be safe, only #preciousmetals. I recommend buying #gold and #silver fast to protect yourself.

This seems at odds with conventional financial theory of diversification. $PSLV is considered a mix of physical and securitized silver trading. Intuitively, one would think that this mix of assets would help offset the risk of the other. Moreover, $SLV could be more market efficient since this ETF does not deal with physical assets and their associated costs such as: storage, delivery and depreciation.

This is my take on you question.

Ayelet, you can find all the authors he's mentioned right here on TalkMarkets. Peter Schiff, David Morgan and pretty much anyone who is anyone that covers #gold, #silver and other #preciousmetals can be found in this section here: www.talkmarkets.com/.../goldprecious-metals

Enjoy! $GLD $SLV $BITCOMP $ETH-X $LTC-X $XRP-X

I think #gold and #silver will suffer as long as the #bitcoin and #crypcurrency craze continues. $GLD $SLV $BITCOMP

Why is #gold a better investment than say #silver, or other #PreciousMetals? $gld $slv

#Silver chose the path to a breakout and a new high! Very interesting. $SLV

True that silver had been performing better than gold of late, but I have 2 thoughts: I am somewhat concerned about the volatility of penny stocks that you mentioned above. If I was investing in silver I prefer iShares Silver Trust ($SLV), and secondly, with the expectation for more rate hikes in 2017, I foresee that safe haven investments like gold and silver will be worse performers when compared with banking and financial stocks like #Citigroup, #BankOfAmerica, or #Goldman Sachs. As always, best advice is to diversify. $C $BAC $GS
