I intend to stay off the subject. Virtually all of my interest regarding any ETF on this board or anywhere was an effort to try to understand the manner in which the Trust worked.

I'm relieved to find the storage isn't under a pool table for example. Internet Chat Rooms do seem to be prone to ridiculous statements.

I've been fortunate in sticking with the Futures on Silver as well as Gold. Once I get an idea on how the market is working with respect to the ETF I'll go in or just stay off.

I noticed in an earlier post of yours, possibly on another thread, what the margins are in Silver. They are changing every few days. My Thursday Statement floored me.

Anyway I'd like that to be a topic downstream. Meanwhile the ownership of mining stocks in no way manages to beat ownership of the Future's Contract in terms of return on investment.

It would appear to me that the real Bull isn't in Mining firms it's the underlying.

Now a lot of people will yawn and say "of course it's the underlying" but the Gold and Silver Stocks aren't doing what the Metal is doing.

So I say, own the Futures Market, not the miners......
