Listener questions: What do you want to know?
- Question from Paul - Mark, What is your take on the timing of an investment in silver right now? I just got out of the market and I am thinking of investing in silver - either the traditional options or an ETF that tracks physical bullion like SLV or SIVR. I am leaning towards SIVR for its lower expense ratio.
- Question from Lawrence T. - You guys (I think it was Nick) talked about rent a while back. You should make that into a regular segment or report. Maybe who is paying the rent report?
- Question from Charles Allenby - Can I not just do most of this stuff in my stock portfolio using USO, GLD and other ETFs? Do I really need to open a futures account?
