Anyone who can reel off those numbers has been around for awhile. Silver Wheaton (SLW) was $3.19 in December 2008. Today it is 45
What is Silver Wheaton you might not ask?
I’m not asking, but curious nonetheless!
Surprisingly, have only lost money in mining stocks. Either bought the wrong ones, or became impatient - and sold at a loss. True story.
For a long time, when the metals went up a lot, the stocks went up a little. And when the metals pulled back, the stocks would crater. Even bought a few shares of DZZ, to hedge. Lost money there too. My metal stashes isn’t all that impressive, but the cost basis is good. What it really did was teach the value of regular habit forming saving, investing, and minimizing debt. When we bought our house the bank looked at me like from Mars, my credit score is 830 or something.
