SLV - 3 Silver Stocks You Should Know About in a Precious Metals Bull Market
Stock market investors have enjoyed huge gains over the past decade, and even the bear market earlier in 2020 has given way to an impressive run higher that broadly clawed back most of its losses. Yet some market participants are concerned that the worst of the COVID-19 pandemic is not over, and they worry that the efforts that governments and central banks have taken to stabilize the global economy could have long-lasting negative consequences.
In light of all this, one asset type that was out of favor for years has suddenly come back into the limelight: precious metals. Gold and silver have moved sharply higher, with the yellow metal topping $2,000 per ounce for the first time ever and silver reaching its best levels in years. Silver in fact has experienced larger price gains in percentage terms, and that's attractive for those looking to maximize their returns. Here are three options for giving your portfolio exposure to this bull market for the precious metal.
