Silver, gold & platinum ETFs (SLVP, SILJ, GOEX) crushed it in 2025, while MSOS, MEME & VIXY lagged amid policy, hype & calm markets.

VanEck Junior Gold Miners ETF is rated Hold due to elevated prices and potential for sharp corrections despite strong recent momentum.

Year-to-date, my five silver and gold ETFs are up an average of 153% and offer an average five-year dividend growth rate of nearly 26%.
