  • This Chart Shows "Physical" and “Paper” Silver are the Same

    By Jordan Wathen - May 20, 2013 | Tickers: SLV, SLW, PSLV

    Silver investors often make noise of the disconnect in pricing between “paper” and “physical” silver. Many believe that the disparity is a sign of market manipulation. Why should physical silver – coins, bullion bars, or scrap silver – trade at a premium to silver on a futures exchange?

    In all reality, some small spread between paper and physical silver is tolerable, if not expected. Physical silver is costlier to store, more expensive more »

  • Where to Start: Basic Materials

    By Daniel Murray - May 15, 2013 | Tickers: AA, FCX, IYM, XLB, SLW

    The basic materials sector is considered a risky one in which to invest due to exchange rates, commodity price volatility, import controls, governmental regulation, environmental policies and changes in consumer demand.

    The article compares the recent performance and attributes of three companies in the sector, each specializing in a different metal: Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold (NYSE: FCX), Silver Wheaton Corp. (NYSE: SLW), and Alcoa Inc. (NYSE: AA), which specializes in aluminum more »

  • Out of Favor, Overlooked, and Misunderstood Gems

    By Reuben Brewer - April 23, 2013 | Tickers: ARO, STTYD, SLW, UPL

    Jim Roumell of Roumell Opportunistic Value Fund (RAMSX) doesn't look for stocks where everyone else does—there's no edge in that. He keeps his eyes open for opportunistic investments that are out of favor, overlooked, and misunderstood. Today, he is seeing opportunities in Ultra Petroleum (NYSE: UPL), Aeropostale (NYSE: ARO), and Sandstorm Metals & Energy (NASDAQOTH: STTYD).

  • Commodities Are Dead, But Equities Are Very Much Alive

    By Jayson Derrick - April 23, 2013 | Tickers: GIS, GDX, SLW

    April 15 unofficially ended gold’s 12-year bull run when the yellow metal dropped 9.1%, the largest one-day loss since 1983. Other commodities like silver, copper, and oil have seen their prices rise, as well. Investors who had bought virtually any commodity six months ago are seeing extremely large losses. Meanwhile, investors who purchased equities six months ago are likely seeing respectful returns.

  • How to Play the European Debt Crisis

    By Piyush Arora - April 4, 2013 | Tickers: ABX, SLW

    Now that the fears of fiscal cliff are behind us, the sovereign debt crisis in Europe has come to haunt us again. This time it’s Cyprus and the bailout fund is nothing short of ludicrous. One cannot simply steal money (as much as 80%) from savers, and expect to root out the problem. It can happen once, but people would immediately park their money abroad in order to stay more »

  • Digging Into Gold Mines

    By Frank Schirmeier - April 2, 2013 | Tickers: ABX, GG, GDX, NEM, SLW, AUY

    I am not in favor of letting daily news affect my long-term investments. Even so, the Cyprus news, with fears on the safety of paper money flaring up, reminded me of the necessity to diversify into commodities. In the following, I will explain my line of thoughts, starting at physical gold and ending up with an investment into shares of the gold miner GoldCorp (NYSE: GG).

  • Expert Betting Big On These 3 Silver Companies

    By Mike Thiessen - March 25, 2013 | Tickers: AG, FSM, SLW

    Investors who have followed the investing moves of famed commodities investor Eric Sprott over the past few years are well aware of the man's penchant for physical gold and silver. Along with many other seasoned, well-respected investors, he is a fervent long-term precious metals bull who believes that the "easy money" policies of the various Western central banks will undermine the broader currency markets and lead to a sharp more »

  • Dig Less to Profit More in Mining

    By Ken McGaha - March 20, 2013 | Tickers: RGLD, SLW

    Investing in mining tends to be a very dangerous game for stock investors. Producing mines normally carry high valuations and are subject to all sorts of unexpected cost overruns. Exploration companies tend to be hard to evaluate and much better at raising money than they are at raising metals from the ground. However, due to the potential astronomical returns, many people will risk their investment capital hoping against hope to more »

  • Is Silver Just Another Speculative Bubble?

    By Jordan Wathen - February 25, 2013 | Tickers: SIL, HL, SLV, PAAS, SLW, GLD

    Gold recently struck six-month lows as key players like billionaire George Soros and others cut their holdings of the yellow metal. Silver was quick to follow in the sell off. Both the SPDR Gold Trust (NYSEMKT: GLD) and the iShares Silver Trust (NYSEMKT: SLV) recently traded lower for five consecutive days.

    Investors are now left to wonder if the recent selling pressure is just a sign to come. If a more »

    By Michael Ugulini - February 22, 2013 | Tickers: AG, PAAS, SLW

    Every cloud has its silver lining, but it is sometimes a little difficult to get it to the mint.

    Don Marquis (Author, 1878-1937)

    By Masam Abbas - January 29, 2013 | Tickers: GG, PAAS, SSRI, SLW

    My readers must be noticing this fact that I am covering Canadian stocks in detail nowadays. I believe these stocks do not get the attention that they deserve. Recently, the silver stocks were falling.

     

    They have been falling because of a sharp decline in global silver prices. However, the last quarter was a strong one for the silver stocks and silver prices. In fact, silver and the PGM were the more »

  • Investing in Gold and Silver

    By Ryan Peckyno - January 28, 2013 | Tickers: IAU, SLV, GOLD, SLW

    When I was a kid I used to go to the local coin shop with money that I earned mowing lawns and buy an ounce or two or five every now and then – usually about once a month.  Gold was too expensive for a kid from a middle class family.  But back then an ounce of silver was around $4 – $5 compared to the $30 that it is today.
