Q: Hi 5i.
I own small position in Sprott Silver trust.
I would like to add small position(s) of some silver producers.

What are you recommendations for an ETF, which may make the most sense or perhaps 2 producers. Prefer a conservative (for retirees) choice(s).
Thank you for the great service.

Q: The current market turmoil has made me realize that a certain amount of commodities exposure as an "asset class" should help with portfolio diversification and therefore risk/return profile. Is this thinking correct? What options, if any, are available for the average retail investor to get broad commodity exposure w/o a lot of overhead which you would recommend?

Q: What is the difference between these mint receipts and the sprott product? Does one have an advantage over the other? Since I already own PHYS from sprott for gold would it be better for me to own one of mint producrs for silver as better diversification? Finally, what is the difference between MNS and MNS.U?

Q: If I purchased any of these, are they subject to capital gains tax? If I wanted to redeem the physical silver in exchange for the shares, what would the charges be over the spot price? Does the share price follow the spot price dollar for dollar? Wouldn't mind having answers for any questions I haven't thought of.
