Silver Junior mining stocks - an assymetric upside for the next few years that Wall Street is still ignoring

Okay I get it, most folks stay clear of this sector for a reason. Mining companies and metals as a whole are perhaps one of the most volatile in the entire stock market, and what happened in late January scared a lot of generalists off. I hardly see anyone even talking about mining stocks on here, and Wall Street isn't biting either. But you'll be kicking yourself in a few years if you didn't least take a look at this one.

I'm sitting here looking at some of the junior mining stocks specializing in silver that are either currently producing or going into production in the next 2 years: some examples being SLVRF (Silver One Resources), AGXPF (Silver X), SVRSF, (Silver Storm), Blackrock Silver (BKRRF), and so on.

And the thing that stands out to me is despite the price of silver going on a parabolic move earlier in the year and still sitting almost 100% up from where it was 6 months ago despite the crash in January, so many of these silver junior miners have hardly budged lately in comparison.

Despite an ongoing half-decade shortage of silver due to industrial demand (as well as elevated investor demand now), where these companies are so perfectly positioned to benefit, most juniors still haven't made their big move.

If you want a clear idea of the potential asymmetry from where we stand right now, just look at SLV's price action over the last 2 years versus SILJ (Silver Junior Miners ETF). Keep in mind that mining companies, especially juniors, are supposed to be highly leveraged to the price of their respective metal. And yet, SLV has far, far outpaced it up to this point.

When the mass shortage of silver continues to worsen to the point that it becomes an undeniable reality, and companies that need it are scrambling for it anywhere they can get it, these stocks are gonna blow through the roof.

Given how even more beaten down these have been lately with the war news, this feels like a great opportunity to get in. We are still in the early innings on this one. NFA.
