I AM FOR THE APPROVAL OF THE SILVER ETF.

If the SEC does not approve the silver ETF (like it has in the past approved the gold ETF) it will signal to the public that there is a serious shortage of real silver availble. This ETF also gives to the general public another unique investment avenue which I think is sorely needed.
