A Slide Awaits Silver ETFs

Active and adventurous traders that believe SLV is really heading to $15 can consider the ProShares UltraShort Silver (NYSEArca: ZSL). If a roughly 17% decline materializes in SLV and does so in short order, ZSL could surge 34%.

In arguably dangerous phenomenon that has been seen during previous periods of gold weakness, investors are pulling money from gold ETFs while sticking by silver funds. This month, investors have pulled $258 million from GLD while pouring $62.3 million into SLV.
