First of all, let's talk gamestop: it's a very simple centralized market. buy or sell shares of the company. So far so good.
The problem with SLV is that silver IS NOT A CENTRALIZED MARKET!
The biggest silver market is COMEX, which is a futures market. See, futures markets aren't the same thing as single stock markets, they are much bigger, have more institutions rather than retail investors and they are much more complicated.
When a typical retard buys gme, they hit buy market and that's it, they now have 1 share.
In futures, it's different. You buy contracts, these contracts are standardized and the most popular contract for silver is : SI . SI has a contract size of 5000 troy ounces!! One contract is equal to 135000 $ worth of silver. You don't need to pay 135k for a contract, you can buy it for 14k if you close the position before you need to take delivery of the silver.
Some of you might have 14k, but the risk is very high: if silver moves down 1 dollar you lose 5k.
Another problem in the silver market are the participants: goverments own silver, hedge funds own silver, investment funds own silver, too many people own too much silver!! Gamestop is at about 30 billion dollars marketcap ( and that's now ).
The open interest on the latest SI contract is 135 960, giving it an open interest value (which admitedly is not marketcap) of 18.354.600.000 usd. 18 billion usd in just open interest.
Open interest is how many positions are open at any given time.
Silver is a much bigger market, with more big players.
GME - there weren't so many hedge funds (poor Melvin, that was the one big hedge fund shorting gme) and so it was a subreddit against a fund, and we won.
Silver is a different story - JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, Citi, hedge funds, governments, a lot more money is in silver than gme.
For these reasons, don't go into SLV, you will just play where the big boys want you to play, they have the advantage there.
tl;dr : Silver won't moon, banks have advantage, hold gme to 10k.
