2. Exchange-Traded Funds and Stocks: The following ETFs will give you exposure to silver prices via futures, or physical silver held in ETFs, or in the case of the Ultra Silver Proshares, you will have a 2x leverage move (meaning your gain, or loss, will be double the market move in silver prices).
- iShares Silver Trust (NYSE: SLV)
- ETFS Silver Trust (NYSE: SIVR)
- PowerShares DB Silver (NYSE: DBS)
- E-TRACS UBS Bloomberg CMCI Silver ETN (NYSE: USV)

There are equity-based investments that focus on silver bullion production. Here is a list of a few that trades on major exchanges.

3. Options on Futures: Finally, there is the futures market, where you can purchase contracts of 5,000 oz. each.

They do, however, provide a direct leveraged bet on silver prices.
