The gold-silver ratio has broken the 80-1 threshold. This ratio usually implies that the silver price is so low that its time for a reversal which means higher silver prices coming soon. To play this speculation, I recommend either getting a silver ETF such as SIVR which has the lowest expense ratio or SLV which is a popular silver ETF. The volatility on both these ETFs are rather low so I don’t see much downside. I also think if there is a recession or inflation that silver will go up in price.
For those that like leverage, silver miners are a great way to take advantage. First Magestic (AG) is at a 52-week low and it continues to go lower! I do think it should be bottoming soon especially if silver prices start rising again. You do have more risk but if silver prices goes up then this will spike up 3-4 times more than the silver ETFs.
