Hi White Cobra
I guess you make money going into thrift shops and garage sales and hope to buy it cheap and then sell it on E-bay. I have a neighbor who has signs up "We buy gold and silver" While both of you are knowledeble enough to know what you are buying and can make it on the spread, even you can make a little more by holding when silver is down in price (below $33) and selling when it is higher (above $35). I don't have that knowledge.
You don't need a special IRA to own SLV, PSLV, SLW, GLD, RGLD
When I buy a security I sell a little at a time as it goes up and buy a little at a time as it moves down. I am ALWAYS buying lower than I am selling. Check out www.aim-users.com and the link back to an investorshub board.
Good luck
