Discussion on precious metals - pros and cons of precious metal stocks, ETFs, and physical holdings
Just helped my SIL set up an account and buy her first 10 shares of AMC. The army is growing, and we ain’t sellin.
$SLV Intermediate-Term Bull Thesis in a Nutshell: we entered long Friday morning because: 1) 15-min = bullish Gartley harmonic in play 2) Hourly = bearish Gartley harmonic likely violated 3) Daily = bullish Gartley harmonic in play 4) Recent positive volume flow //Tags: Silver Gold $SIL $GLD //

Gold and Silver pennystocks — 100 baggers, and the train is departing the station.

Long SIL puts absolutely should pay off...therefore calls
yeah, SIL and SILJ have a really bad ratio against silver. gonna be interesting when they catch up
I bought SIL and GDX on the dip
three tickers GDX GLD SIL
GDX GDXJ SIL SILJ JNUG GDXU Pick your poison
If you don't want to deal with physical storage, ETFs are usually the cleanest option and the most liquid. For gold, GLD and IAU are the two most common. They're backed by physical gold and track spot price pretty closely. IAU has a slightly lower expense ratio, GLD has higher liquidity - both are widely used. For silver, SLV is the most popular, and SIVR is a lower-fee alternative. If you want some leverage to metals without holding the metal itself, you can also look at miners (GDX for gold miners, SIL for silver miners), but those behave more like stocks and add company risk. Physical is still the "no counterparty risk" option, but for most people ETFs are the easiest and safest way to get exposure without the storage, insurance, or resale hassle
Need to hop on SIL…couldn’t find a pull back today
There is a broad-based commodities rally starting, it's not just gold & silver. I'm heavy into GDXU (3x gold miners) & AGQ (2x silver) LETFs right now. Last week, I delevered 1/2 & entered SLVP, SIL & SILJ, they're unleveraged silver miners that haven't really benefited from silver's huge price rise yet & still grossly under-valued. I'm keeping an eye on GDX (1x gold miners), COPX (copper miners) & PPLT (platinum) for further de-risking divestment from my LETFs. Don't like oil services just yet despite MSM pushing it, the charts don't look that good to me.
Close of NY cash market. Can you trade SIL option after 4? I thought it was only major indexes at some brokers. Fidelity doesn't allow any.
Somebody just threw 10 milly on SIL calls at close
SIL covers most big players SILJ covers smaller players, historically more volatile hope this helps
I have $200K each in SLVP, SIL & SILJ as they're absurdly under-priced with the rise in silver prices, returns this year should beat physical silver ETFs by at least 2x.
SIL/SILJ, maybe some extra in Hycroft Sprott funds are good too
Talk to me about this. Looks like more potential return on SIL calls…looking at 90c exp 4/17
hmmm i did hear the miners are lagging behind the spot reflecting etfs. Any particular opinion why SIL over SILJ?
swap SLV to SIL for free money. SIL is underpriced by like 50% if silver even remotely holds its price. SIL is pricing miners \~50-60/oz
I think so too - SIL is a safe pick here
Why $SIL is up more than $SLV?
I would recommend considering PSLV or SIL too. And if you don't understand the difference between the three... Maybe silver is not right for you.
SIL is up 198% in the last year and SLV is up 189%. The miners as a whole historically outperform the underlying by 2-3x, so in that sense they are definitely undervalued.
I've been buying a little SIL
Miners feel like the best bang for our bucks. When they report next month…..going to try and grab calls on SIL and maybe Hecla two months out. Wish me luck.
Damn /SIL is a hell of a drug (currently fent folded)
SIL - just an ETF. I don't know much about them / how they differ
Opinion on Silver miners like SIL and SILJ? Once spot hits $100, do you think the miners run will start possibly?
It likely means this price action is short lived. A byproduct of market dynamics that likely won't last for more than a few weeks (months?). Mining companies (which were profitable at $40/oz) are now able to sell their shit for $100/oz. They're gonna be ramping up production like crazy to meet the demand. Either silver miners absolutely explode upwards or silver comes back down. Personally I'm long SIL (silver miners) and have a small short posiiton (puts) on SLV. The price delta between them will converge. Silver miners are currently being priced as if silver is \~$50/oz. If it stays pegged at $90-100/oz, the miners will see a 200-300%+ upside from here...
Based on what I learned from MSA and SMT they are leaning towards at least $200 silver. MSA says it could go as high as $500 at the peak. Take it with a grain of salt, that is the wise thing, but considering all the fundamentals it is truly possible. Silver miners typically do better than the silver, averaging 1.5x roughly. If Silver does do 10x it's previous all time high there is a good chance of silver miners doing 15x or more. SIL and the XAU have only recently broken through their all time highs. This has a long way to go. I myself am in high Beta silver miners, riskier but better returns.
20x average is extreme, but the miners are lagging -- yes. They're currently priced \~$50/oz so either they gap up or silver gaps down. The prices will eventually converge tho. I'm in SIL leaps right now.
Was a very small position, and I'm long SIL with 4x the size. Probs be fine
Makes sense. My tentative plan was to take profits on any red too ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯ I also have SIL leaps tho, so kinda hedged if it does decide to moon lol. My SIL leaps is a larger position
SIL gonna continue to 🚀
I'm long SIL - so hopefully it all works out 🤞
Surely SIL and/or SLV eat shit soon. This seems too good to be true(silver)
Well - I can buy options with a 6 month expiration and long SIL with a 6 month expiration. Either silver is or isn't a bubble. If silver drops -> puts print on SLV. If silver isn't a bubble -> calls on SIL print as the miners report record profits.
Dipped my toes into SIL leaps. Fuck it. No way it lags silver by this much
I’m in SIL but I sold 66% of my position yesterday. My model said it was stretched too far above its 10day EMA. But I couldn’t pull the trigger on the whole lot lol. 😆
There is a large overlap tho. For example WPM has \~30% of its revenue come from silver and \~68% come from gold - despite being the largest % in a silver mining ETF (SIL).
you might be right actually, I just looked. Miner ETF (SIL) looking good right now. Highly correlated to silvers historical \~15 year movement. SLV up 235% but miners only up \~100% over last 5 years
only 20$ more in Silver until even you retards can buy it. Then another 10x in SIL and SILJ until you can buy that as well. Stay alert
I prefer the indexes. GDX, GDXJ, SIL, SILJ, SGDJ. They are at an ATH and will likely have a correction this year at some point but it's onward and upward if you can buy and hold.
Safe. I have a /SIL buy order near there.
How do I buy SIL calls before the market opens to avoid those pesky open high premiums?
Exactly. I'm all in on gold and silver miners (GDX, GDXJ, SIL, and SILJ). I'd get GDXU if I wasn't such a puss.
GDX, GDX, SIL, and SILJ. They're all in the top 10 performing ETFs in 2025, and there's no reason why they won't continue to be in 2026 due to dedollarization, lower interest rates, monetary inflation, central bank buying, the consumption rate vs production rate of silver creating supply constraints, stagflation incoming, record profits for these miners, government debt soaring, etc. I sold all my tech stocks (NVDA, PLTR, META, HOOD) in September to buy these ETFs and I'm already up 30%. Can't say the same about those stocks. They're slightly lower than when I sold them.
My largest positions are Jan 27 leaps in SBSW, SIL, SILJ, ARMN, HL, CDE, GDX, GDXJ, NEXA, AYA and EXK. Gold, silver and platinum miners.
god you're dumb silver outperformed gold. Silver miners are playing catch up now. Especially Junior silver miners. Wait till the next earning call for the miners in $SIL and $SILJ
CDE AYA AG NEXA SBSW ARMN SIL SILJ GDX GDXJ A few lottery tickets (explorers) TUD VSO Staying away from Hycroft andHSLV because of some experts' opinion on their overvalued assets
ETFs SIL SILJ Individual stocks AYA AG PAAS CDE NEXA
SIL, you have to decide direction though lol
Would you mind DMing me your list of individual stock picks? I'm currently doing some research on individual mining companies to start a position in (compared to a blended ETF like SIL/SILJ). Also do you invest in non-US companies, e.g. something like Discovery Silver Corp, which is a Canadian mining stock up 1000% over the past year.
Going in heavy on metals miners. It's the only value play I see. SIL ETF collectively barely worth more than OKLO
Buy LEAPS on Nexa. Hold until Q2 results. Zinc mine that is the 10th producer of silver worldwide but nobody knows it because they don't advertise as a silver producer... It's not even in SIL ETF. Absolutely ridiculously low stock price. Their Q4 '25 and Q1 '26 EBITDA will absolutely skyrocket.
SIL is a silver miners ETF, where SLV tracks the spot price of silver.
What’s the difference between SIL and SLV?
You do you, but the last smackdown in October was 11 days. Take some time and look at the gold and silver prices and compare them to HL, NEM, CDE, SIL, etc. Good luck.
Can someone tell me what the difference is between SLV and /SI , /SIL , /QIH?
Looking at the All-Time SIL chart made me physically ill.
I would buy June or September Calls. There's likely going to be a huge pullback in the next couple months that will be hard to time. Will it be from $100 back to $75, or $150 back to $100?? Who knows. Only buy the Calls if you won't panic sell with a 50-80 percent drop in value during a correction. Or just buy PSLV, AGQ, or SIL Or buy GLD Calls. Gold has barely moved and the IV is way lower on the Calls
Since my downvoted post above from 9 months ago: TSLA 264 -> 475 (80%) PLTR 85 -> 190 (123%) SMH 200 -> 365 (82%) NVDA 110 -> 190 (72%) IWM 198 -> 250 (26%) ARKK 48 -> 79 (65%) SLV 30 -> 79 (163%) SIL 39 -> 90 (131%) For an average return of 93%. I do this professionally, but retail traders hate listening.
My top picks for 2026: NVDA AMZN GOOG SIL GDX PM CVX KMI
I'm going in hard on the miners, the entire SIL ETF is barely worth more than small cap pre revenue companies like OKLO. Miners lag 3-6 months behind the metals prices it seems
As of 12/27, 12-mo. trailing gain for SIL is +163.88%, and PSLV is +162.24%. My Grandpa is yelling down from heaven, "I told ya!" Well, yeah, but being right one year since 1965 doesn't really make up for missing out on the index funds when they had three digits, buying BRK.A at $500 a share, any of the Mag7, etc.
I like my silver held in my brokerage account. To each their own. iShares Silver Trust (SLV): Tracks the spot price of silver. Recent price around $71.60, near its 52-week high of $71.23. Physical Silver ETF (SIVR): Also tracks physical silver, recently quoted around $74.66. Global X Silver Miners ETF (SIL): Focuses on silver mining companies. Recent price around $90.29, up significantly. Sprott Silver Miners & Physical Silver ETF (SLVR): A hybrid of miners and physical, recently trading near $60.
Sure, but I have a winning strategy now. Why allocate money into miners that will perform worse? The squeeze in silver is because the banking cartel have suppressed the price of silver for the last 40 years. Its undoing itself now. They've lost. Its also because there's an arbitrage price difference between Shanghai silver and COMEX, and Chinese markets are pricing silver based on the actual price of the metal, not on the shit SLV paper silver the banks have created in North America. I suspect the banking cartel will move on to suppress the silver miners next, since they're lost control of the underlying commodity. I wouldn't touch SIL, SILJ, GDX, OR GDXJ. Just stick to the basics.
Lol ya, it is hilarious. I usually stick to .y precious metals communities, but I thought I'd drop a post in here too. I'm surprised WSBers haven't started degening into SLV yet. Its got so much more room to run. I don't touch SIL or SILJ. They will not move like the SLV and GLD. Lots of people on fintwit saying they will. They're wrong.
So the gold and silver bull market is luck? Look at the year's performance of SIL, SILJ, GDX, all up over 100% in 2025. Gold at $2600 on Jan 1 to $4600 today. Silver $29 to $79. Luck my ass, I've been waiting for this move for a decade, and the train is just leaving the station. If you don't see the once in a lifetime situation here you have blinders on. Heard of the Everything Bubble? It's been the "Everything but Gold and the miners" until now. There's a capital rotation beginning and I've been positioned for it, albiet way too early.
I'm heavy into GDXU & AGQ right now, probably delever into GDX, SIL & SPPP by early April.
SIL for senior miners (already working mines) SILJ for junior (exploration, no earnings yet, high risk/high reward) GDX for gold miners (most produce silver as a byproduct and gold is starting a new breakout) Single stocks: CDE for North American exposure (less risk of nationalization) NEXA for a very undervalued play (they present themselves as a Zinc miner but are one of the largest Silver producers and have their own smelters) HSLV just bought Corani, the second largest high yield silver mine in the world through a merger with BCM, a company which was horribly managed All those are +150%-200% YTD but still trading with a cost of extraction of 10-20 USD/oz and their guidances was made with a bullion price of 30/Oz LMAO They'll go face ripping after earnings
Energy costs way down, silver at mind blowing levels, shortages getting more intense, and the entire silver mining etf SIL is worth less than prerevenue tech companies
I predict GDX and SIL will go another 100% by end of next year
Well if you wanted into the silver run, the entire SIL ETF is barely worth more than OKLO and down today, it's very early
The entire silver mining etf SIL is barely worth more than OKLO. We are early in the run
another one of those SLV +4% and SIL +0.4% days, what a blessing
The market cap of the entire SIL silver miner index is 18 billion, only 6 billion more than pre revenue companies like OKLO. This bull run has a long ways to go
Wanted to thank you for SPPP; hadn't found that in my searches. And to flesh out the miners a little more for anyone else who might come along: GDXJ SIL, SILJ, SLVR PICK, XME
Hi, instead of trying to predict, have you thought of looking at charts to find what's currently doing well? Barchart is a good place to screen ETFs, and [this ](https://imgur.com/a/screening-etfs-on-barchart-zLCc55F)is how I do it. Silver is doing really well right now. Play it with SLV, or the miners SIL & SILJ. DXJ is a good one too.
GDX GDXJ SIL SILJ calls here 🤞🏽🤞🏽
I'm currently short /SIL, so you can be certain it's a bad strategy
GDX, GDX, and SIL are up +100% YTD. This has been one of my best years in a long time. You can't just bet "the market." You have to figure out what the market doesn't know and get ahead of it.
SLV SIL SILJ for me, but there are other great ones too
This is my copy pasta as it was asked the other day somewhere. Gold starts... Copper confirms... Lithium bridges... Oil follows. Silver hit a high 11/13(?, damn close if not right) so the question is this a breakout or a fake out? Where I am from we treat stocks as global assets. So we have to zoom out a bit to delve deeper. China is ripping this year. Europe leads the pack. Latin America is also breaking out fresh multi-year highs. Meanwhile the U.S. has been the laggard. I remember 2011 well. Silver mania was wild. Once the bubble burst, silver collapsed 68%. The Silver Miners ETF (SIL) dropped more than 80%. Now here we are, back at the same level. It only took 14 1/2 years. Any chart you look at is price in U.S. dollars. That’s the American view. If you really want to gauge if this break out is real, you have to look how silver is doing around the globe. And in Euro, Silver has already taken out the 2011 highs. It's at its highest level ever. You're seeing the same thing across the board: Silver is making new all-time highs in British Pounds, Japanese Yen, Australian Dollar, Canadian Dollar, even Chinese Yuan. If Silver is already breaking out in every other major currency, it's hard to argue it won't eventually do the same in U.S. Dollars. That’s how I see it. ( I recently closed a Silver LEAP from 2024 for a 500% gain.) That’s the playbook we used with gold. Before gold broke out in USD, it was already hitting all time highs in other countries. That was the tell. I will dovetail from where I started. Gold miners, uranium, steel, copper, lithium... they're not just outperforming. The VanEck Gold Miners ETF (GDX) is up 140%. The Global X Uranium ETF (URA) is up nearly 84%. The SPDR S&P Metals and Mining ETF (XME), the Global X Copper Miners ETF (COPX), and the VanEck Steel ETF (SLX) are all up between 74% and 78%. While the S&P 500 sits at plus 17%, commodities are screaming that the global market structure has already changed. Now look at the Energy Select SPDR Fund (XLE). Two years of consolidation, volatility compressed... sellers exhausted... resistance tested over and over. Every major energy move in history started this way: a fading dollar; commodity leadership; improving risk appetite; and a sector that spends years preparing for the next leg higher. XLE hasn't broken out yet. But everything around it already has. It’s the last domino. Breakout or not, the message is clear: This cycle is shifting toward real assets, hard assets, and energy. Now you know what I know.
Congrats any GDX GDXJ SIL SILJ holders
You can buy Gold or Silver ETF calls (IAU GLD SLV) or, better, buy calls for the companies who mine it. Their value has not gone up as much as the mineral, which is typical during gold rushes. They go up later when reporting their earnings, and some have gone 50-100X in value in the previous gold rushes. My plays are SIL SILJ and GDX, OTM leaps
"do we love miners? I love miners!" he's right, more GDX GDXJ SIL SILJ
It's telling me that my SIL and SILJ calls will print nicely in the next weeks
Believe it or not, calls (GLD GDX SIL SLV)

Silver up +2.3% Silver miners down -0.17% Added more SIL calls today, previous ones are +47% over a month. Historically catch ups have been brutal
SLV SIL SILJ are the go-to ETFs. Personally, I've been doing long-dated calls in these since 2023 and rolling forward every 12-18 months. Underlying shares is fine as well for the less risk adverse. I also have about $3m divided between 40 individual stocks of (mostly) junior explorers, developers, and producers. Some of them are larger and/or gold miners. I can't seem to post a screenshot here, if you DM me, I'll send you my list.
Just buy SIL and be done with it.
Tomorrow my $SIL and $NU calls will print My $NVDA will expire worthless and I'll get banned 😂 And I'll become a dad
havent seen my SIL in 5 years and lemme tell u 🤌🤌🤌
$SIL up 4.6% today My '27 calls up +22% already
