Top 3 Silver Stocks For 2022

2022 is just around the corner and with tax loss selling in Canada, investors and traders will be wondering what sectors will be in the money next year. One of the commodities that a lot of metal watchers and analysts these days are talking about is silver. One reason is that silver is the most undervalued commodity and according to many it is also the most suppressed commodity. Looking forward there is going to be huge demand for silver for everything from solar panels to electric cars and almost everything in between. Just recently a couple of the big silver producers said they are now withholding silver going into the market. They are just plain sick and tired of seeing the Comex, bullion banks, traders, funds and Wall street manipulate the price of silver on paper day in and day. I don't blame these miners one bit.

Right now most silver miners and silver explorers across the board are seeing their stock prices pretty much at yearly lows and for a lot of these miners stocks there is potential to make a lot of money going forward when silver prices do take off. We're going to take a look at what we think is the top three silver miners to own shares in. These a miners with actual mines running and producing silver everyday.

First up on the top three list is First Majestic Silver TSX:FR Being one of the worlds largest silver miner First Majestic carries a lot of clout in the silver market. When the Wall Street Bets group decide to buy silver back in January 2021, they went in and bought First Majestic hand over fist. First Majestic saw it's stock price double litterly over night. Since that time the stock has pulled back to reasonable levels and at the time of this writing the stock price is sitting at $17 CAD.
