Gold and Silver Boom — 4 Stocks to Buy Now While You Can

In last week’s Saturday email, we highlighted three key industries — lab testing, home exercise equipment and plant-based meat — that are benefiting from the pandemic.

Another sector that’s red-hot right now is precious metals. Think gold and silver.

Some of the best companies in this field are up more than 50% since the stock market bottomed in March. Others have gone up almost 100% in that same time.

And our Smart Profits team has been giving you the best ways to profit.

On November 7, Brian Christopher wrote an article about the four mining stocks you need to own.

Those companies did great before the crash, posting an average gain of 37% in just four months.

And after the crash, they’ve done even better, with an average gain of 59% in a little more than a month.

Well done to everyone who joined in on these trades!

In today’s edition of Smart Profits Daily, Brian now shares his updates on this booming sector, and explains why the four stocks he recommended in November are still a buy…

Here’s What’s Happening in Gold and Silver Right Now

In the November article, I noted you should look to sell by the end of February. In the past three years, junior mining shares peaked at that point.

We saw that again this year. Selling on February 24 would have netted you an average gain of 37% on these four stocks. The S&P 500 Index was up only 5% over this period.

Then, if you bought back in when they bottomed on March 20, you could have made another 63% on this basket. That’s more than double the S&P 500’s 27% return.

So, as you can see, it’s important to have some exposure to precious metals today.

The government doesn’t know how to fix the coronavirus problem. It shouldn’t … it’s a health issue, not a market issue. But that hasn’t diminished its desire to throw stimulus at the financial system.

That’s good for precious metals. Zero percent interest rates reduce the attractiveness of currencies. That pushes people to look for alternatives such as gold and silver.

The miners that produce these metals remain solid ideas to consider as long as the government is printing money.

These four names have run-up recently, but they’re still attractive given the monetary landscape.
