i'm bullish on the metals myself, especially silver. I don't have any futures trading experience, so I have avoided using that as my investment vehicle.
Depending on how much you have to invest, you might consider actually buying some precious metals and holding them yourself.
You also can buy stocks of the metal producers, and get a leveraged play on the underlying metals that way. There are also funds like CEF that will track a metals basket (I think CEF holds silver and gold). There is also supposed to be a gold based ETF in the near future, where you can invest and essentialy hold a quantity of gold.
Whatever you do, don't get suckered into making a leveraged bet with futures. Even though you can make a big bet with only a little money up front, that greatly increases your risks. It's likely you will get blown out of your position and miss a later rally.
Good luck.
