The iShares Silver Trust ( SLV ) filed to sell almost $2.2 billion in new trust shares to buy more silver. "Silver at $80 would probably generate a move in the iShares Silver Trust ( SLV ) to $78.00 or more if the move is fully up to $80.00 per ounce." There is an increasing belief in markets that the silver boom is far from over; it does have legs and is not just a momentary upward spurt caused by more investors hedging against inflation and paper money.
