I suggest not buying SLV

SLV is really a derivative of the Comex Silver market.
Thus, SLV can make any amount of shorts AND any amount of silver.
Plus they have the option, at any time, to settle any contract in dollars for a price they set.

So, this will not go the way of Game Stop.

Further, the price is set on the Comex, so the price of SLV may have no effect on anything.

I suggest buying physical silver from your local coin shop.
If they have any left.
