with the objective of achieving profits through the successful anticipation of price movements. Speculators are willing to
take large risks in the hopes of making quick, large gains. The speculator has no interest in taking delivery of the physical
product.
If a speculator is bullish on silver there are numerous option
strategies that can be used to take advantage of positive price movement. The most bullish of options trading strategies
is the simple call buying strategy used by most novice options traders. A more advanced way to trade is by utilizing option spreads. Moderately bullish options traders set a target price for the bull run and utilize bull spreads to reduce cost.
