Silver Miners Have Outrun Silver Since 2020
Since March 2020, silver has returned about 402%. The silver miners returned 445%.
That gap is the leverage our research team focuses on. When silver rises, a producer's net asset value can rise much faster, and share prices tend to follow. It works in both directions, and a mine is only as good as the company running it.
The Ultimate Silver Playbook shows how the team separates the miners worth owning from the rest, and which silver stocks are on its watchlist now. It's free.

Pentatonix Is Kicking Off Its Christmas Tour in Tacoma
Pentatonix will kick off its “Christmas in the City” tour at the Tacoma Dome on Thursday, Nov. 5. The Grammy-winning a cappella group last performed in Tacoma in 2019. In an interview with The News Tribune, vocalist Mitch Grassi said he’s looking forward to making new memories here—and noted that crowds in smaller cities can bring especially lively energy when a touring act comes to town.
This year’s show will build on last year’s tour, with new music from the deluxe edition of the group’s holiday album, plus games and audience participation, Grassi told The News Tribune. The interview also explores how the group’s holiday tradition has evolved and what Tacoma audiences might experience at this year’s show.
