Why would anyone buy this rather than physical?
 
That was my first thought, Why in the F would I want to put my money in that POS? However, they do allow you to margin it so you could buy that for probably a couple hundred dollars.

They Need MOAR money into their scams in order to keep em going, that's what I think is happening.
 
Isn't it curious that they are Trying to get more people into Gold and Bitcoin. Tells me a lot. Not a peep on silver. Silver is their Achilles heel.
 
Can we short it too? To counter swings in the market...
 
I remember when AGEs came out in 1986 and the government made sure they were IRA eligible. Since the IRS clarification last week on cap gains taxes it makes tax deferral moot.
