I do not know what is driving Schwab's mindset but noteworthy to those investors in the PM asest class that Schwab has gone from a "NC" (Not Covered) status of two miners in my portfolio to a covered rating. Internally has Schwab sentiment on PMs changed? Why the gradual change from ignoring them to start covering them?
New Gold (NGD) This Week's Rating Within Canada Schwab Equity Rating: C Marketperform Percentile Ranking = 40 as of 10/20/2017
Hecla Mining (HL) This Week's Rating Schwab Equity Rating: C Marketperform Percentile Ranking = 46 as of 10/20/2017
As of today (NC) Not Covered status still current on: ALEXCO RESOURCE (AXU) ENDEAVOUR SILVER (EXK) MCEWEN MINING INC (MUX) PAN AMERICAN SILVER (PAAS) WHEATON PRECIOUS MET (WPM)
Yes, I know (WPM) more of a royalty enterprise and not a miner but I wanted to point out that Scwab had previously made the decision to not fully cover the PM asset class and that is possibly changing now for whatever reason. Institutional interest is a positive sign to me.
New Topic - Read an article that the author said that anyone interested in silver should watch the copper commodity. The reason he gave was that only 1/3 of annual production of silver comes from the primary silver producers. The other 2/3 comes as a by product of base metal mine production. In his opinion the manipulators use paper copper to control physical copper spot price thereby controlling the amount of silver produced.
