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 //

GDX is the gold mining ETF, AEM gold mining company, RGLD gold loyalty stream company. SIL silver mining ETF, HL silver mining company, WPM silver loyalty stream company
I go the ETF route. I do the mining companies such as in GDX, SIL, COPX and URA (gold, silver, copper and uranium respectively). You could do ETFs that actually track the price like GLD and SLV. It's a matter of preference really.
My SIL was educating my wife, who has a Masters, on how we had to help the poor Iranian people from their awful government. It was quite jaw dropping.
Same, well SIL, ERO and GLD…but metals…slaughtered
Good point. One of the things I struggle with on /SIL is that the micro is still $80k notional. Given the volatility, that's a lot to risk. My broker still hasn't enabled the new /SIC contracts.
May be time to dump my GDX and SIL shit is just perpetually bleeding
i set a stop on my SIL short i’m ashamed of myself 😞
YTD I’m up 33.2% across my brokerages. Primarily via swing trading 2-3x leveraged stocks & hitting metals/miners early. Feb 5th was a snag where I was down 19% but recovered quickly. SLV, SIL, ZSL, SMST, ASTX and PLTU are the top return dogs in the list. Obligatory note to heed caution playing with those 2-3x levered ETFs, not long holds.

My SIL sent in the group chat that Trump is so great he is creating jobs for Iranians by replacing their leader. Yes she is stupid. Yes she is poor.
My SIL just graduated from Navy A school. He's older than most new recruits. But he has told me how a lot of new enlistees are dumb shits with horrible judgement.
What are you seeing…ATH ok SIL Monday pre-market…then slam…and hasn’t been a pretty week…
I'm probably going to lose my banbet later tonight, but being short 20 contracts of /SIL while manic silverbugs were DMing me taunts about "weekend silver up 6% stupid ber" last night might end up being my most satisfying trade of the year. Better than any drug out there.
Another $75k booked on a /SIL short. Not bad for an hour long trade.
/SIL tomorrow opens at 900, 10x lock limit up
Yeah. I even closed all my shiny rocks positions. I figure some of the jump in those on Friday was people moving into them in anticipation of war. But then is it a sell on the news, if war is a bit of a nothingburger? Or does it skyrocket because of something especially awful happening? This is one of those times when I could see a single /SIL or /GC contract moving $50,000 in a day, or between Friday close and Sunday night futures open. Which is great if you happen to guess on the right side of that move, but feels like crazy risk exposure. Much better for weekend mental health to be able to say, "Well, we'll see where things are next week and then decide what to do."
Circuit breakers coming soon /GC 10,000 /SIL 5000 /ES down 400
I bought shares too. Sold and put the money into SIL shares
in time, yes, but the current picture is more mixed. The SIL/XAGUSD ratio is well below the similar trendline (1.30 vs 1.52).
Uhh...my ThinkOrSwim charts are showing live data for /NQ and /YM, but three metals I'm watching -- /GC, /SIL and /HG -- are all frozen at noon for some reason? Is this just me?
People were not exaggerating about comex and slv. I was up too and sold for a small loss. Put the money in shares of SIL and PSLV now
no possible to make SLV at 85 and options worth not much then. I'm in SIL shares
UUUU, JNUG, COPX, SIL. I think SLV still might have the most upside, with all this tariff fuckery and war in Iran about to break out
i still trade it but only the micro /SIL
what a shock. /SIL broke under 77 again
my next line for /SIL is 71.50 🫣
My call options are in Ford, COPX, URA, BTU, GDX, and SIL. Buy LEAPS of each and then get a fuckin job because even if they triple that's still only $1500
Should have just put it in SIL futures
SIL beating silver, oh how the turns finally turntables
SVM is currently earning like 5 ounces of profit today that they earned for 1 ounce of profit a year ago. that's fucking nuts lmao. SIL/SILJ are so cheap it's practically unbelievable
I have been trading ETFs like TQQQ, SOXL and UPRO. Other than these three 3x, most of the 3x ETFs has the real risk of disolution at the low price when volatility peaked as high as 33% (most likely you know this). Even this index LETFs are safe by circuit breaker. As far as I know, US systems do not have emergency restrike. If you do not know what is restrike, google "WisdomTree emergency restrike of 3SIL (3x Silver) to prevent liquidation" To know more about 3x ETFs, read this person's blog [https://www.reddit.com/user/modern\_football/](https://www.reddit.com/user/modern_football/) This is too much theory, if you do not like it skip it. Good Luck and Happy investing.
How many planes are this time heading for SIL? (asking for a friend..)
I would never advocate dumping a significant amount of money (and $50,000 IS significant - don't lose sight of that, it's a lot of money for a young adult) into ONE thing. Would I put some of that money into silver? Yes. More specifically - if you feel late to the silver run-up and want some torque to rising silver prices - do some due diligence on Silver Miner ETFs like SIL and SILJ. These ETFs own a basket of silver mining companies, many of which will report Q4 earnings in the next weeks/month. Miners are attractive to me because their costs to mine are fixed and rising prices with the velocity we've seen in the underlying commodities (many of these mine for gold, copper and other metals - silver is largely a by-product metal) goose profits and earnings. So if prices stabilize in here at $90ish or trade sideways for a while (very healthy) you could see the miners jump on their earnings reports. I own both personally and have been a PM investor on and off for 25+ years. But I would NEVER allocate all my money into this space and would cap that allocation at 10% max. And even that is too high for most, but I have conviction. Please do your own research and know this isn't professional advice or a solicitation, just an idea or two to kick around if you want exposure to silver and feel like you missed out on the greatest bull run the metal has ever seen.
yeah i lied for brevity i'm not actually in $SIL i'm in $AG and $HL
$SILJ has almost the same holdings as $SIL You're better off to research each companies' debt, reserves and AISC to invest in a small basket of companies with higher torque potential. In silver I have $CDE $AG $EXK $SVO and $AYA (plus gold and platinum miners)
saw that some of the world's wealthiest people were all-in on miners so i fullported $SIL. turns out they were all in on minors
Good thing I trade SIL and profited last night when it was +10% lmao
You all laughed when I said SLV/SIL puts would make you rich but look at us now. Both poor.
I see SIL1! up 10%. I post SIL1! up 10%. Who's the dumbass? It's not me.
should i sell tomorrow if i get any gains? i bought 100 SIL at $100, 100 SLV at $90. i can't afford for that 2k to sit still right now.
Silver lining (no pun intended) to blowing up my account is now I’m out of my loser MSTY position, my theta dying NVDA calls and I don’t have to lose sleep over hoping I can get out of my /SIL
Haha did you catch the 50% drop in 3SIL? [3SIL](https://imgur.com/6MSfnIn)
Percent decline in SIL or SLV is pretty similar to silver commodity spot price decline. Isnt it? Nomenclature for tick and contract size don't mean anything here. Ultimately its dollar value to silver amount (with minute infra costs of trading and stuff involved).
$5 a tick makes a $0.10 move in SIL $100 or $1000 for a $1 move. SIL was down $29 today. My point was that, even the micro is a big notional value contract @ 1000 Troy oz. that a lot of retail traders don’t typically trade. Read WSB and jumped.
Imagine the people that got into SIL and have no clue how it moves.
Yesterday, the 3x silver ETF 3SIL hit a record high of 1300, up 2000% in the last year. On Monday, it will likely be liquidated. G fucking G.
MSFT going to 0 before SIL
Largest entry $3300 SIL 110C Jan27 now worth $3950 +19.3% Largest position $2658 CDE 25C Nov26 now worth $4097 +54.1% Largest gain $183 NEXA Mar26 now worth $628 +243%. That one was like +400% when I sold various of them to buy some $CDE Jan27 30c. Other calls make SBSW AYA and CDE my largest positions Port $40k, opened in october now $63k, +57% (was 105k/+160% yesterday LMAO but I'm not selling shit before at least +1000%).
I follow all the guys with horrible track records. Mostly for humorous reasons, but I've legit found some gems in there. For example -- I actually bought into silver miners in early jan (SIL) \~85 due to one.
Thank god my all my funds didn’t fully settle when I decided to buy SIL at $118…
SIL etf, or something different?
SLV, GLD, IAU, NEM, SIL all month.
My Trump-stanning, chem-trail believing, ivermectin-taking MIL convinced my SIL to buy silver 3 years ago.
You should pay attention to the Shanghai silver price in US dollars, which has been averaging about $10 or higher than the COMEX price. Unlike the COMEX SIL price, the Shanghai price is driven by actual supply / demand of the physical delivery of silver, and not speculation. Silver will be following that for quite a while.
I had a look at your history, you have some beautiful stuff:D Since you are the silver expert, can I ask you if you are invested right now in equities that have to do with silver? For example the ETFs SLV, PSLV, SIL, SILJ or individual companies? I watched this video featuring Rick Rule [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVacfj1eDYU](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVacfj1eDYU) and he's saying that there is a lag in the stock prices of major (not junior) silver miners because silver moved up a lot very recently and this wasn't priced in, example Pan American Silver production guidance for 2026 mentioning $70/oz as average silver price [https://panamericansilver.com/news/pan-american-silver-achieves-2025-production-guidance-and-provides-guidance-for-2026/](https://panamericansilver.com/news/pan-american-silver-achieves-2025-production-guidance-and-provides-guidance-for-2026/) . GDX is +200% in a year compared to GLD's +93%. On the other hand SIL is up +249% compared to SLV's 284%. My logical conclusion is that the big silver miners will crush their earnings that are coming in the following weeks and raise guidance, does this seem too obvious? Even in a bad case where silver falls to $70/oz, earnings will go up a lot, and if silver stays above $100 which seems an average case at the moment, it's another +100% in earnings. Do you see a good play here for 2026? I bought 100 shares of Pan American Silver at a high price of $67.70 during the overnight session 1-2 days ago and I am +60% on South32 since October. I don't have cash to buy unless I sell something else so I was thinking about selling aggressive puts for earnings of American companies like Wheaton, Hecla Mining, Endeavour etc. one company at a time, I close one then after I open the next one. Or I could just sell SIL puts. Any other strategies you would consider?
$SIL price action after hours is interesting…
I don't know anything about the sector which is why I decided on SIL over SILJ. I figured the bigger / more established players were a "safer" bet. They're very similar returns tho. SIL - 240% 1yr SILJ - 260% 1yr
SILJ, same as SIL but just more volatile. i see they have more growth potential... probably.
For the silver trade people. Look at look at PSLV? SIL and SILJ? PSLV is illiquid and trading at 10% discount (ask AI for better explanation) The miners are also known to catch up later when their revenues hits. I am beating myself for not buying AGQ a month ago but still made some good money after hearing China is restricting export. If history is anything to go by, I think gold silver ratio can go as low as 35 or 30... (Right now at 45)
Prob sell another 25% of my SIL if its green and still popping
All I got was SIL calls didn’t want to do SLV
Feel like I have metals brain rot. I don't do any deep ticker research anymore or balancing etfs by sectors just SLV GLD GDX GDXJ SIL SILJ PPLT COPX just straight rocks. I'm doing better than ever thinking less
Based on /SIL futures predict Silver 144.85 equals Fibonacci 123.6%; don't say when though.
I have decided the best course of action for my neon red /SIL position: I will be monitoring the situation 🫡
Sorry guys, i went long SIL thats why we dumpin
Look at the top 10 for SIL all very strong
Okay I'm convinced the math will eventually math on SIL and SILJ and still annoyed they aren't mooning as hard as SLV
$CDE being shorted $HL $AG $FCX $B $NEM $SILJ $SIL $HYMC MANY CHEAP MINERS
Going to go in on a /SIL (silver futures) short
That's a pretty violent upwards move on the europoor version of SIL and it's still lagging the metal by a lot. I should probably buy some more before the underlying miners start reporting their results.
Bought 30k each of SIL and GDX Jan 2027 calls last week wish I bought 60k each like I originally planned lol
I opened a few SIL positions Thurs, exp 4/17. 2 ITM one OTM. If futures hold, will be up about 50% at open tomorrow. Opening up positions in ERO tomorrow…somewhat same-ish strat, exp 5/15, some ITM, some slightly OTM. Exits set on both at around +120%. That’s my set-up, do your own analysis. Check out HL, will prob get in that tomorrow, too. The miners are on 🔥Just plan your exit, don’t get greedy. You could do spreads for insurance but with the current momentum I didn’t. There’s enough time if they pull back a little it won’t be too painful. Good luck 🍀
All in SIL calls. OTM 2 months til expiry
Top 10 holdings of SIL are very cash strong, should blow earnings out of the water this year
How is the entire silver mining etf SIL worth as much as OKLO that shit should be worth a trillion
SIL has WPM heavily weighted (22.66% currently) so maybe that has something to do with it? Most silver is produced as a byproduct of mining gold, copper, zinc and lead so if SIL is not composed solely of pure play silver miners, what is happening in those other commodities is going to play a role in returns. WPM itself is not a pure silver play as it has gold streaming deals. Timing also surely comes into play. There may be different starting points where miners do outperform silver over the short/medium term. Long term, IDK... I started buying Jan 27 LEAPs a month ago on SILJ, AG, HL and CDE. They are doing pretty good (+96%, +91%, +98%, +77%). My timing was OK (would have been better to buy them a year ago of course)
Don't forget SIL has 0.65% TER
I've been looking at lots, I'd go for the more established ones any mid to big name. Look for cash flow. They were able to profit off $20 silver and now it's suddenly $100 their costs are virtually the same. SIL ETF does a good job at putting the best cash flow companies at the top of their % holdings
I project SLV to be temporarily range bound between $95-$120 for a while before moving higher, but in the meantime the mining stocks have another 100% to go. It's ridiculous that the entire mining ETF SIL is worth less than OKLO
Trick is NOT to get out, but HARVEST gains and roll forward. I’ve been doing that since September. Sell 90% of big gains and roll into ITM calls 3-4 weeks out. pay the premium and wait. I started with SLV, SIL, SILJ equities. sold around doubles and bought options. E.G. - bought SLV 50 calls when SLV was 55. Paid around $8 for 3 weeks out. when they hit $20, I sold them (still $1 premium in them) and bought 55s around $11. When they hit $20, I bought 63s around 8.50. As it kept running, premiums went up and I started buying OTMs but tried to limit to $5-6/ contract. Recently sold my SLV 2/6/26 90s at $9 (paid $3 when SLV was 79. Rolled out of them to next. meanwhile I still own 2 55s, 63s, and 70s. Each now 5x gains. Started with $60k in August. Now approaching $200k, but never have more than $30k in calls. I still own SLV, PSLV, GLD, GDX and some individual companies going back to 2016. I long ago harvested my initial investment and let the remaining roll, but took $30k in September (when I sold SILJ AND SIL) to get aggressive with.
Don't forget to buy GDX/SIL calls before the miners start reporting. Free money.
Pretty sure at current levels the entire SIL ETF is worth less than OKLO. I think you are very early if going long
The next correction to silver and gold, Im gonna all into /SIL. 3rd time rip is guaranteed!
Silver miner gang assemble! Anyone buying SIL and SILJ?
Get some SIL - it’s on 🔥I just got slight OTM calls ext 4/17 yesterday and was up 50% today
GDX, GDXU, SLVP & SILJ have been great so far. I dropped SIL & COPX as they traded weirdly, may be some plausibility to the conspiracy theory that miners are getting suppressed.
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
