Barrons: Silver Lining to the Gold Run-Up

Barrons: Silver Lining to the Gold Run-Up

IF YOU ARE ANGRY at yourself for missing gold’s historic rally, and tremble at the thought of paying more than $1,000 for an ounce of the yellow metal, fear not. The poor man’s gold, also known as silver, is experiencing its own bull market.

Silver is trading at a 52-week high, and options-trading patterns suggest that it will continue to advance. The trading volume is small compared to gold, but as one trader said, the “bang for the buck” could be higher.
