How to buy silver stocks
Reduce your portfolio risk.
Research suggests that precious metals have a weak, negative correlation to equities markets. This means that when regular stock prices decline, silver, and by extension your silver stocks, will either increase in value, remain unaffected, or at least not lose as much value as the remainder of your portfolio.
Know that your investment will be safely guarded. Since a trust holds the actual commodity, you don't have to worry about storing silver or keeping it safe.
