iShares Silver Trust (SLV)

[Innoscape]

Had this one a long time. I read somewhere could be 100@troy by end of 2018. But, I was guilty of flipping half out at ~19 then buying it back at just under 15.

I used to buy .999+ silver bars as an "investment".
When times got difficult, I tried to sell them.
Talk about a joke. Just try to sell physical silver and tell me what you get for it!
That's when I got into SLV. Only costs 4.95 (fidelity) to buy or sell any amount!

So, I cut up one of my bars with a bolt cutter, bought a crucible, made some molds with petrobond, made some ~5-10 gram turtle, frog, owl necklaces and such, covered the cost for all my bars with what I made from that one bar. That's how you really make money (~8 bucks a gram) from physical silver! (Being a "retired" toolmaker, it was quite satisfying too.)
