Which silver stock? $AG or $PSLV
Diupdate
AG and PSLV are both popular silver stocks that more or less track the spot price of silver. PSLV cannot be shorted as each share is backed by 1/3 of an ounce of physical silver. Meanwhile AG can be shorted, so let's look at this chart of AG/PSLV to get an idea of what short sellers are up to. At the beginning of the month it looks like short sellers got scared after the wallstreetbets headway with GME, and the rumors of setting their sights on silver. You can see the spike in the chart where the shorts relinquished their positions, sending a spike up on AG. Afterwards talk of silver was basically banned on wallsteetbets and short sellers moved back in. Now that the spot price continues to show massive support, the AG shorts seem to be sluffing off again. I'd say they're both great buys, and AG might see more upside movement in the short term. But will AG paper silver survive the squeeze as comex fraud is exposed? In that case PSLV might be the safer bet. Note you will need something like 30k shares to take delivery from PSLV, but at least it is an option and will more likely retain it's stock value in the event of a major unwinding of derivatives. This is not financial advice.
Catatan
It turns out PSLV can be shorted. Also to clarify AG is a mining company. It does move with respect to silver spot price, but there is the potential for the price to be effected by other factors
