ETF Ruling Is Here

The long awaited news that silver will become and Exchange Traded Fund is in. Reuters is reporting that: "U.S. benchmark silver futures shot to a 22-year high on speculative buying on Tuesday after the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission approved rule changes for a silver exchange-traded fund." Silver for May delivery also is reported to have received a shot in the arm.

One the other side of the equation, critics are toting that silver has been overvalued in its own right, irregarldess of the outcome of the ETF ruling. The proof will be in the pudding, whether or not this will be the case over the upcoming months, once the fever has finished breaking.
