NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) — All that glitters isn’t necessarily gold. If you want a really hot metal, check out silver.
Yeah, the price of gold rose above $1,000 an ounce Tuesday. And Gold is now up more than 5% in the past month and nearly 15% this year. But silver has done even better as of late.
Silver prices hit a 13-month high of about $16.72 an ounce Tuesday and silver prices are now up about 40% so far this year. Silver doesn’t get as much attention for obvious reasons. “Gold above $1,000″ is a sexier headline than “Silver surges past $16.”
