Peter Schiff: Silver Mining Stocks Should Have Doubled in December
- Surge in Silver Prices: In December, silver prices surged by 35% to $76 per ounce, yet the Global X Silver Miners ETF only rose by 11%, indicating a significant disconnect that may lead investors to miss out on potential gains.
- Investor Denial: Schiff highlighted that silver mining stocks typically offer leveraged exposure to silver prices, but their underperformance amid a strong rally reflects a skeptical market attitude towards the sustainability of silver price increases.
- Attractive Investment Opportunity: Despite a 14% correction in silver prices, Schiff suggests that silver mining stocks are now better buys, potentially attracting investors looking to capitalize on silver price fluctuations.
- Historic Gains: Silver prices have increased by 154.57% year-to-date in 2023, while leading silver mining stocks have failed to keep pace, indicating a potential undervaluation in the market that could present future investment opportunities.

Silver Surges 152% Year-to-Date, Achieving Best Performance Since 1978
- Silver Price Surge: Silver has rallied 152% year-to-date, reaching a historic high of $82 per ounce, significantly outperforming gold's 66.22% increase, indicating strong market performance and investment appeal.
