I want to lock in some profits on a small portion of the silver I hold in my OneGold.com account. When I went to place a trade, I was shocked to see how much the bid/ask spread had widened. While most of my investing focus and recommendations to subscribers cover high-yield investing, I like the […]
Last night I dreamed about silver prices and trends. I am sure it’s a sign that I spend too much time reading, researching, and thinking about how to invest in silver and precious metals. But while it’s on my mind, I thought I would share my current thoughts about precious metals investing. As you may […]
After tremendous price gains in 2025, gold and silver prices have so far in 2026 moved sideways, with continued significant volatility. This chart shows the year-to-date value changes for the iShares Silver Trust (SLV) and the SPDR Gold Shares (GLD). This type of sideways price action makes option strategy ETFs attractive. Investors earn attractive distribution […]
Investing in gold mining companies is a way to gain exposure to gold’s value. Mining stocks are viewed as a leveraged bet on gold, since the cost to produce an ounce is relatively fixed, so any gains in gold fall to the mining company’s bottom line. The VanEck Gold Miners ETF (GDX) is a popular […]
After gaining 65% in 2025, gold continued higher by another 28% (from the 2025 close) to peak at over $5,500 per ounce on January 28, 2026. But gold now trades for about $4,600, down 15% from its peak, so the timing was not great when Nicholas Wealth launched the Nicholas Gold Income ETF (GLDN) on […]

Silver had an even hotter ride, doubling in value for the half year and gaining 144% for the full year. The […]
The Debasement Trade discussion has become a popular topic on the financial news outlets. I thought I knew what it meant, but I wanted to dig deeper to understand better. A query using AI produced this: The debasement trade is a financial and investment strategy (or market narrative) that gained significant attention in 2025 and […]
After a year-long parabolic rise, silver peaked at $118 per ounce on January 28. I hope you’ve accumulated some silver exposure in the $30 to $50 range and are still nicely profitable at the current $74 per ounce. After the recent sell-off, I want to slowly increase my silver exposure until the next up-leg starts. […]
In early December, silver was headed toward $60 per ounce, and I told my team it would hit $80 in 2026. At that point, silver was up from $30 per ounce earlier in the year, and many wondered whether it was near a top. At the time, my $80 prediction was considered bold. Just mid […]
To support research for our ETF Income Edge newsletter service, I maintain a database of all options strategy ETFs—at least the ones I become aware of. I currently track more than 110 ETFs; however, I do not include single-stock covered call ETFs in my research. During the first week of January, I pulled up the […]
