Q: I bought i-shares Silver Trust SLV:NYSE at the end of 2012 on a "timing the market/cyclical pricing play" and subsequently watched the shares sink. They have recovered some ground recently, but is there a better option to play the expected increase in silver prices? Is there a stock that pays a dividend and still has as much chance of growth as SLV, or should I just stick with it?

Q: Hi.
I am very glad I subscribed to your newsletter and read the questions and your comprehensive responses faithfully on a pretty much daily basis.
My question is on silver. I would like to purchase a silver stock or etf that features a heavy silver presence. I only know of silver wheaton, but don't understand the concept involved with this stock. I understand it is not a mine, nor does it own bullion (at least I don't think it does). Many thanks for any recommendations.

Q: Good Morning Team. I have a question on Mr. Market. I own Silver Wheaton @ $35 and have ridden it all the way down. Lately my patience has been rewarded and I was getting excited. Monday it hit about $30.60 interday then proceeded to drop about 12% by close Wednesday. This in light of Syria, a bull market in silver and silver equities, and a generally frightening outlook for the US and global financial systems. I don't get it. Who is selling? Why? Is the system just rigged to screw the little guy like me. Makes zero sense!

Q: Hi 5i,

On July 22 you mentioned the following about gold:

"Gold is a tough call. We think gold equities may be weak for a bit longer, but the commodity is starting to attract physical buying. Watch $1338, it is a key moving average price. Above that, gold may break out. The equities are cheap, and have staged a very good July recovery. Bottoms are tough to call, but we are likely close to a longer recovery."

What are your thoughts about the price of silver and silver plays like Silver Wheaton (SLW)?

Thanks for the great service!

Q: Hi Peter and Team,

I would like to add some exposure to Silver at current silver prices as i now believe that the paper price is now trading below actual all in production costs. In addition, the ratio of SLW:Silver is almost 1:1 which means no leverage is being given to Silver Wheaton, SLW, do you think now is a good time to add a position?
