People can invest in silver by purchasing silver stocks or buying it in physical form from precious metal retailers.
Silver futures rose 12 percent on Monday to more than $30 per ounce, marking an eight-year high. Its value was on track to be the biggest one-day rise since 2008, bringing its total gain since last Wednesday to about 20 percent.
Silver investments and risks involved
Below are three common ways people can invest in silver and other precious metals and all of them involve some risk, as outlined by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).
Futures contracts: 'When you speculate in the futures markets, you have the ability to purchase contracts on margin. This means you can control a large amount of metal at a fraction of its value. Leverage can amplify returns and risk. Small price swings in either direction could mean significant gains, or you could lose significantly more than you initially invested.
Precious metals securities: 'These can range from shares in publicly traded mining companies to exchange traded funds (ETFs) that buy physical metal or trade metal futures contracts. Like other securities, metals securities and ETFs are subject to trading commissions, fees, and market risk.
'You can buy bullion or coins from a bank or other dealer. You will pay the current or 'spot' price plus a markup or 'premium.' You'll want to compare premiums from multiple sellers to make sure you're getting the best value.
'For you to make a profit, the spot price needs to increase enough to cover the premium plus any other costs associated with selling the metal. Also, consider the cost of storage over time. If you keep the metal at home, it may not be covered by your homeowners insurance. If you store it with a bank or other facility, you will likely pay fees,' the CFTC advises.
The CFTC also warns: 'Be cautious of offers to buy bullion or coins and store the metal in secured facilities rather than deliver it to you. If the seller is not registered with the CFTC and the sale involves financing or buying the metal on margin, it could be operating illegally. In most cases, it is against the law for a non-registered entity to sell any commodity 'over the counter' using credit or margin, unless the buyer receives delivery within 28 days of the purchase.'
