iShares Silver Trust (SLV) Versus (PCLN), (SNDK), (NFLX), (AAPL) (CRM)

While tech stocks have been hot for the last couple of years, silver has also done well, although when measured by certain dates, especially starting in 2009, tech stocks like Priceline.com (NASDAQ:PCLN), SanDisk (NASDAQ:SNDK), Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX), Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), Salesforce.com (NYSE:CRM), Juniper (NASDAQ:JNPR), and Amazon.com (NASDAQ:AMZN) (in that order), have outperformed the top silver ETF, iShares Silver Trust (SLV).

That's interesting, but any of us can choose a certain date for any stock or sector and make a case for overperformance or underperformance, depending on what we're attempting to communicate or prove.

For example, when you fast forward to the latter part of 2010, say August, then SLV outperforms all the above-listed stocks with the exception of Priceline and Netflix, although they're even with Netflix during that time.

More than likely as we go forward, we'll find that silver will probably outperform all of the tech companies, even if they continue to do well, as it could very well be the investment of the next decade, according to a number of experts.

That doesn't necessarily mean that the outperformance will come via SLV, but it will come nonetheless.
