Q: Would you consider silver a good medium to long term investment?
If so, would you buy mines, or etfs, or actual metal? Could you offer specific suggestions? Many thanks.

5i Research Answer:

We think it is a decent sector right now. There are industrial uses, but also as currencies are debased worldwide the metal should do well. There are shortages, and global production has lagged global demand for at least a decade. Stocks provide the most upside, but also the most risk. But today we would be fine owning stocks such as: PAAS, AG, SVM, DSV
