Silver Stocks

Precious metals have always held their value and silver is no different. While also used for jewelry and décor, silver is used in the manufacturing of solar panels. As solar panels increase in use and demand, the price of silver could rise accordingly. Trading silver can be done through stocks like Silver Wheat (NYSE:SLW) and First Majestic Silver (NYSE:AG), or through funds like iShares Silver Trust (ETF) (NYSEARCA:SLV).
