Veteran precious metals expert Richard Russell says recent trends in silver stocks presage a major price surge in the neglected precious metal.
According to King World News, Russell says he has been so busy lamenting lagging gold stocks of late that he failed to provide sufficient attention to silver stocks, which have been leaping ahead after selling for “prices that were cheaper than dirt.”
Silver stocks logging impressive gains since September include Coeur D Alene Mines (NYSE:CDE), Silver Wheaton Corporation (NYSE:SLW) and Hecla Mining (NYSE:HL).
