$GLD $AAAU $SLV $PSLV $CPER I have no edge when it comes to miners and metals, or critical mineral/metals. So, here is how I go about finding them and it may be different from how you approach them. I pick the outperformers from a list of names I have collected overtime from gold/silver and from commodity traders. For now, I am tracking and selectively buying one year outperformers and outperformers since March 1, if market conditions are favorable. I don’t need to know the stories, drilling results or the fundamentals. Market eventually prices fundamentals and I follow the price signals. I know there are good fundamental analyst out there, but I just know these on my watchlist at times move up faster than benchmark I have created. I buy and set a tight stop. I trim at tops and buy at lows. For most people ETFs may be a better choice or the royalty names serve the purpose. But individual names could provide tremendous alpha. The end of Gulf war may significantly impact the list but I may not change or visit the list often. Do your own due diligence. I try to avoid microcaps. I have position in graphene, uranium and rear earth stocks but not listed here. My bench mark is made up of ETFs and leading names in gold and silver. Bench Mark = $GDX $GDXJ $NEM $AEM $ASM $SIL $SILJ $AG $PAAS Why these names are in my benchmark because I look at these names often. I did not include royalty names. sign signifies outperformance since start of war, March 1 ✔️ signifies current holding, but that could change any minute Outperform over 1 year $AGXPF, $ANPMF, $AUGO, $AUMBF, $GSVRF, $HGLD, $NRRSF, $NTCPF, $SCZM, $THM, $TUNGF, $UUUU Outperform since March 1 $AFMJF(tin), $ARREF, $ASCUF, $BYAGF, $DBLVF, $GMTLF, $GRLVF, $GSHRF, $OMGGF, $PMCOF HONARABLE MENTION $ASCUF, $PMCOF, $AUMBF, $GRSLF(microcap), $FDMIF, $RLMLF(microcap) Featured: $GRSLF $DBLVF $GMTLF (Tungsten)
