Miner Pan American Silver In Market Sweet Spot

Pan American Silver has exposure to a variety of markets. It’s in the hot gold market, which is creating new millionaires as investors seek a safe haven amid market and political uncertainty. But Pan American is also a major silver miner. In addition to its uses in jewelry and other fine objects, it’s a staple in industrial products. Silver is in computer circuit boards, solar panels and electric vehicle batteries to name a few uses.

You can also streamline your investing process with IBD’s simple three-step routine to quickly track general market trends, find stocks to watch, and pinpoint the best time to buy and sell.
