A few things.

1. The silver market is only about 1% the size of the gold market.

2. Silver is extremely volitile and can have big moves up and down very quickly.

3. The silver market is not a free market this has been verified by the CFTC itself which is now looking to bring in position limits.

4. Most silver is a byproduct of mining other metals. There are very few pure silver miners.

I personally am a little cautious here. I own some silver juniors but just the core positions. I have sold my trading shares and will buy them back slowly on any correction.
