That is the tricky part. It is backed by physical silver but not 100%. I'm under the assumption that the rollover rates they charge being an ETF, pay for the silver they house. Therefore I would only assume they own a fractional amount of silver in regards to the investments as a whole made...

I'm fairly certain I will make money on a silver investment in the long run... a couple years is what I'm looking for. I'm not concerned if silver retraces in the comming months as I'm assuming it will. However if it continues to rapidly rise, which is very possible I may just close and re-open...

I would be willing to get involved with futures contract, but I'm not currently willing to make a $41,000 investment in silver. A mini-contract runs 1000 ounces, and with silver at about $41, that is out of my favor as of now. As far as buying metal for retail markup, I would never do it. I can...

Thanks for all the advice. I think I will probably take up a position in SLV or get my hands on some physical silver... maybe a mix of both.

No, ACM doesn't give you physical silver. I am aware of this and would like physical silver on hand. I cannot seem to find physical silver for sale online that is not dramatically above spot. I can find spot silver on auction websites, but then when you get the transaction fees involved, it's...

The reason you mentioned is why I would prefer not to get involved with futures (1000 ounces). You need much more capital overall. I've also never ventured into the world of "futures". If 4 cents in on par though, maybe I will stick to ACM for silver. I'de prefer to be offered both silver and...

I'm looking to get into mainly silver and possibly commodities. What is a reputable commodities broker that offers both of these? I seem to be finding mostly commodity brokers offering "futures" rather than commodity brokers offering "spot". I want nothing to to with futures. I do have an...

Demo play Absolute's virtual horse racing, and lay the horses that shouldn't win... you will see what I'm talking about. The RNG on Absolute's casino outlet is rigged, their virtual horse racing confirms this 100%. My point doesn't have anything to do with long-term play or house edges. No...

It was Ultimate Bet, not Party Poker, my bad. RNG's are still rigged though. If you want a prime example... go to Absolute Poker and "demo" play the virtual horse racing. If you lay any horse with the highest odds (most probable to lose) you always lose. God forbid anyone do this with real...

The RNG systems are rigged on the basis of giving "handicaps" to newer players. They do this to lure players into the system so that they (the poker companies) can benefit from the rake generated once the player deposits larger amounts of money, typically betting larger amounts of money as time...

And I hope you're not serious... You're telling me that I'm an idiot because I'm stating that online poker is a terrible investment? It's ok, you don't need to try insulting me just because you may be the outcome of those who play online poker. Online poker is a terrible way to make money...

I didn't know they still run single deck blackjack in vegas. There's got to be a mess of people getting banned over at those places... The casino still makes money on the game anyways, but that's crazy that they still run single deck blackjack over there.

I didn't know the game was a house-game until someone from another forum told me today. I thought the game's wagering was run based on the bets of other players, not Betfairs own bank. In this case anyone would be out of their mind to play any "X-change" game on betfair. Opportunities to make...

Yes, I have a link to a screenshot in my first post. You can either download the image, or click "view" below the download button.

I'm being shown that a player has a winning hand, yet various odds are still offered to back that player. At the end of the game it displays players with "21" as winners, even if the dealer gets 5 card charlie or a blackjack. So if player 1, 2, and the dealer have 21, and the dealer has a 5...
