<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 1692060, member: 15199&quot;]There are several threads current that discuss most of these areas. However there are several groups with different beliefs and different levels of actual knowledge, and one must decide on their own from research, as to which mechanism is better&nbsp; for their situation.</p><p><br /></p><p>ETFs and futures can be used mainly in trading ( most call it paper ) and profits/losses will&nbsp; be exacted in cash money from an account with a broker. ETF shares do not expire, but are close to the price of the PM at the time. You do not have to store it, pay security on it, or ship it. Arguments are that it will be &#039;stolen&#039; by the MAN, but you can liquidate or buy in instant if needed. </p><p><br /></p><p>Futures can be bought on a delivery basis where the full price is paid and the silver will be delivered, but it is a very&nbsp; large amount, with additional fees. If you couldn&#039;t buy Maserati out of your checking account, you ,like me, wouldn&#039;t play in this world.&nbsp; Futures can also be speculative, along with call and put options, but they are leveraged, and can produce larger gains and losses payable in cash and expire at certain dates and may change by the minute as the market and date changes ( highly speculative , but lucrative if you hit it)</p><p><br /></p><p>As to your Libertads margin, You are at the whim of a dealer that is a middleman between the Major marketmakers/COMEX dealers and you the retail buyer. They will get what the traffic will support. Some won&#039;t sell until the price seems more supported and at the same time buy at lower prices. They don&#039;t have to sell and you don&#039;t have to buy. The higher the PM volatility, the higher will be the premium spread.</p><p><br /></p><p>With the ETF, you need to download and read the prospectus carefully. With ETFs, futures, puts,call, spreads, etc. you will need a broker such as TDAmeritrade or other. Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
