Silver’s Slide: Worse Before it Gets Better

Investors have stood by SLV and comparable funds even as they have not been shy about pulling cash from gold-backed ETFs.  Two gold ETFs are found among the 10 worst ETFs in terms of 201 outflows but SLV has seen inflows.

The ProShares UltraShort Silver (NYSEArca: ZSL) could be the way for risk-tolerant investors to deal with and profit from silver’s declines. ZSL is up 8.3% in just the past week and is up almost 23% in the past month.  Double-leveraged ZSL also resides 18% above its 200-day line.
