Likes silver, though prefers another name. Is a good spec.

First gold fell off, and then silver did the same thing. You're relying on the fickleness of investor appetite. A much tougher theme to play than just owning tech stocks that are changing the world.

He owns silver and gold, but bought at way lower levels. He'd rather put new $$ into nuts and bolts that he can be more sure of for the long term.

Laggard. Attractive entry point. Silver as a commodity is seeing higher highs and higher lows. Really likes the potential of silver longer term, especially for a Santa Claus rally.

It is one of the highest quality names in silver. However silver is a very volatile commodity and you shouldn't be aggressive with it. You could take a small position now and then wait for the higher moves which should start in October. Smaller moves could happen from now into July.

(Past Top Pick, April 3, 2017, Up 29%) Best leveraged stock to the price of silver. It's a low-cost producer with high reserves in the ground. Great management in Mexico. Silver will do better than gold. This should do extremely well.

This should be trading much higher. They just acquired Primero Mining and upgraded resources estimate with production rising. Costs remain steady. Has enjoyed a great run since 2015. Great entry point now. (Analysts' price target $11.16)

Silver producer in Mexico. It trades at a premium but he does not feel it is justified. There are better and cheaper silver names to own. They will have to invest quite a bit in an acquisition they just made. It will take about a year.

In the past, this has had very strong seasonality from approximately from the middle of December right through until the end of February. This year nothing happened. We are not getting the normal seasonality you would expect. (See Top Picks.)
