What is the best silver company to buy?

Risk tolerance? Time frame that you want to keep the money invested? Dividend a must?

My advice would be to find an investment manager you TRUST and shares your worldview as closely as possible.

Personally if I had a lot of cash I'd probably spread my precious metal investment 70% seniors and 30% juniors (I'm talking STRICTLY about the PM exposure of my overall portfolio). If I had less money to invest (think limited funds with a mortgage/family/responsibility etc etc) and losing some of the money wouldn't drown me, I'd be looking at more like 70% juniors and 30% seniors. A few big hits on juniors= small/modest investment turn into raining money (by the subjective standard of a smaller investor).

I'm hesitant to start listing off companies. Yes I know some good ones, but without more information I am not willing to do so. Even then, I'm hesistant.

If you were buying ONE I would go with SLW, but I would spread out among several. Or go with the GDXJ. It is a junior gold miner etf, but has a ton of silver exposure.
 
Silver Wheaton or one under 500 million market cap. Under 150 million market cap really is my cup of tea. Those in the GDXJ really aren't juniors, mutual funds and ETFs aren't able to invest in true "juniors" because they need a good size market cap to move in and out of, a company with a tiny small market cap is out of their reach. Use this to your advantage. Best situation is to get in a small growing company before it reaches the 500 million or 1 billion market cap mark where the fund managers are salivating to get in. The idea is to get in early before they are able to, an example of this recently would be a First Majestic Silver.

I put together a list of my favorites here: http://www.libertygrotto.com/blog/minegems.htm

Silver Wheaton is now paying a dividend and I kind of look at them as the next Exxon. Very safe investment.
