IKN presents: "The Year-To-Date Small Silver Miner Sweepstakes"

Here's a bit of nonsense that'll keep us occupied til the end of the year. This chart shows the comparative performance of "the small silvers", i.e. a peer group of companies smaller than Pan American or Fresnillo that are churning out Ag production right now. By way of a benchmark, the silver bullion ETF (SLV) is also included.

Right now top spot is taken by US Silver (USA.v) (and I know one certain reader who'll be very happy about that), with Endeavour (EDR.to) in second place and Fortuna (FVI.v) filling the final place on the podium. But the final final winner will be the company in first place on December 31st 2009 and we can watch this chart develop in the weeks left of 2009.

Faites vos jeux, mesdames et messieurs.
