🚨 Eric Sprott: Why Silver Stocks Could Outperform #shorts
Sprott Money Jun 27, 2026
Summary
Eric Sprott expects silver mining stocks to outperform the precious metals sector and would buy them first as capital flows in.
Silver ETFs (funds holding baskets of silver miners) give broad sector exposure, which Sprott prefers over picking a single company.
Long-term conviction is central to his strategy: he keeps significant positions for years and is rarely a seller.
Index inclusion creates selling liquidity for large holders whose own sales would otherwise pressure the market, Sprott notes.
Key points on Americas Gold & Silver Corp
- Sprott says he has sold some of his Americas Gold & Silver (USAS) shares over time, using the stock being added to an index as the moment to do it.
- He explains that index inclusion gave him liquidity he otherwise would not have, because his own selling as a large holder would pressure the market.
