While it's a common assumption that the precious metals market is a safe bet during uncertain economic times, this is simply not the case with Silver Standard Resources Inc. (SSRI). Though their stocks have seen some small growth last week, their size relative to competitors is a warning for conservative investors and their inconsistent price changes should be a warning for speculative investors as well. For anyone interested in investing in silver Silver Wheaton Corp. (SLW) shows far more safety and a stable return.
