Any silver producing asset is going to have a higher beta, which means it moves more dramatically up and down than gold. Given that we have had a very good run in gold, he would be a little cautious.
Will benefit from season strength from Silver. It should go higher from here to October. This stock is a little different so may not go exactly with other silver stocks. Technically you have to like the stock right now.
Silver has outperformed gold year to date, 50% versus 30% in terms of upside. He prefers to play silver through Silver Wheaton (SLW-T) giving a lower risk torque.
Stock or bullion?The whole precious metals sector has been out of favour. If going into this, he would be more inclined to take the stock over bullion because of the leverage. This company has multiple mines.
Really not a silver company anymore. In the last 18 months, they have managed to convert from a higher geopolitical risk asset base in Argentina, to one that bought a gold company Marigold and Claude Resources. It is much more exposed to gold and silver now.
We are in the period of seasonal strength for gold and it gives rise to sliver. The time to purchase silver is mid December to end of February. That is because it is an industrial metal. They are resisting at the top end of the descending trend line. It is getting enticing, but he would still wait.
It stopped being a silver play a year ago. As they've made acquisitions, they've shifted from South American silver to North American gold. If gold pops, this stock could generate a lot of free cash flow.
Great value. A buy, with a $26 target. Will perform well. Great company. Buy right, sit tight, and wait for the storm to hit. Meets all his criteria for something he'd buy.
One of the most senior producers of silver. Silver is better than gold, as the bulk of silver production comes from copper mines. Silver just crossed $24, and there's lots of upside. SSRM has a $28 price target. He wants something that will benefit once inflation is realized.
