SLVO: A Bad Choice As Silver Could Fly Through The Double Top Resistance

Silver is nearing a historic breakout, driven by gold's rally and strong industrial demand, with the potential to surpass its double-top resistance. The gold/silver ratio and chart patterns suggest silver could follow gold and Bitcoin's recent breakout, favoring further upside momentum. SLVO, which uses a covered call strategy, significantly lags SLV in strong uptrends due to its capped upside, making it unsuitable for this environment.

SLVO: Watching Silver Seasonality For Potential Breakout

I am upgrading SLVO to a buy, as silver appears poised to play catch-up to gold amid improving macro conditions and fiscal concerns. SLVO's covered call strategy has outperformed SLV recently due to steady silver prices, but may lag in sharp rallies; high yields remain attractive. Trump's softened tariff stance and the likely passage of the BBB plan could weaken the dollar, drive capital outflows from U.S. markets, and boost silver prices.

SLVO: Adding A Silver Lining To Your Income Portfolio

As an income investor, I recommend diversifying into commodities like silver to hedge against falling stock prices and inflation, especially during market corrections. Silver demand is driven by industrial consumption, renewable energy growth, and global uncertainty, with prices rising due to a supply deficit and increased usage in electric vehicles and solar panels. UBS ETRACS Silver Shares Covered Call ETN offers high-yield income and potential price appreciation, making it a suitable choice for income investors amid current macroeconomic conditions.

The Hidden Costs Of SLVO's High Yield

SLVO offers high monthly dividends through a covered call strategy but caps upside potential, making it less ideal during strong silver rallies. Despite a bullish outlook on silver, SLVO's structure and historical underperformance suggest direct investments like SLV or self-managed strategies might yield better returns. SLVO's 32% yield is appealing for income-focused investors, but its expense ratio and capped gains limit its attractiveness for those seeking significant capital growth.

SLVO: Don't Blow This Bull Run On Covered Calls

I'm bullish on Silver, due to its fundamental setup, highlighted by a 6-year running supply/demand deficit. Despite my bullishness on Silver, I'm bearish of the Credit Suisse X-Links Silver Shares Covered Call ETN due to its long term under-performance. On the surface, the SLVO ETF's shareholders get a 14% dividend payout. Yet, the total return of the fund since inception has been negative for more than 11 years.

Silver Looks Ready To Break Out On The Next Round Of Rate Cuts

Silver has provided significant returns, up over 40% in the last year, and may catch up to gold in the ongoing precious metal bull market. The Federal Reserve's interest rate cuts and potential increased industrial use from China could support further appreciation in silver prices. Silver's industrial demand, particularly for solar cells and electric vehicles, combined with supply deficits, suggests a strong potential for future gains.

SLVO: If You Are Looking For A Rally In Silver, SLVO Is Not The Answer

2024 has seen significant rallies in commodities, including oil, coffee, gold, and cocoa. The Credit Suisse X-Links Silver Shares Covered Call ETN offers exposure to silver but caps its upside to +6% monthly positive moves. Commodity rallies have proven themselves to be sudden and significant in short periods of time, thus making the SLVO structure inappropriate for a sudden break-out in silver.
