When you think of precious metals you likely think of gold ingots. But this group also contains silver, platinum and palladium. When precious metals spot prices break to a new high or out of a channel this could be a good time to start looking at trading stocks in and related to mining.

Mining stocks can be subdivided into two main groups: majors and juniors. The majors generally have multiple assets that are currently being mined. A few examples of major gold mining companies are: Barrick, Newmont and NewCrest. The juniors can go all the way from companies that just have an idea to companies that are mining a deposit.
