Silver exposure

Hi all, how would you go about getting exposure to silver? I've heard of the Perth Mint, but seems cumbersome. I've seen the gold and Plat warrants, but anyone know if there is an ETF associated with this? Thanks

Thanks - whats the main different between an ETF and ETN? ETF backed by physical and ETN?

etn does not have to be backed by the psychhical .. so the risk is that they can't pay an as such depends on their balance sheet ..

may I sugest you go to an auction of antiques.. buy the silver cuttlery,as it often sells below its nav for the silver and you at least get to use it. or at least some beutifully craftes piece from yester year... at least that way it will never lose its value if you are wrong about the end of the world coming.

GT247 has a silver spread, which due to its tendency to rocket up and down, I am using John's block trading system to good effect. Thanx John, will try the spoons too.

look into GB Gold ( gbg) I am not sure how or how much but they do have some exposure to silver mining.- In Australia I think - You will have to go into it - I just remember reading something in a artilce the other day.

Will send you silver cutlery. Just don't rub them too hard as the silver might come off.
