How to invest in silver - worthless paper silver

There are currently significant differences between the silver paper market (silver certificates, futures and options, ETFs, investment and unit trusts, structured products) and the physical silver market.

Today, for the most part, the silver paper market is based on trading in exchange-traded futures contracts and the equally popular ETF funds (shares of an ETF fund that compiles silver in physical form with an independent depositary).

Furthermore, it is doubtful that ETFs reflect the real value of silver, as fund prospectuses are burdened with exhaustive and unclear legal terminology, and gaps.

Experts Mike Maloney and Warren Buffett argue that financial derivatives (calling them "financial voodoo" and "financial weapons of mass destruction"), initially designed to reduce the risk of economic crisis, simply "spread" the risk all over the world!

Many creators of the silver paper market have only a fraction of the basic metal reserves they can trade, and yet they still issue "empty papers" for potentially non-existent amounts of gold.
