[QUOTE="C-Note, post: 1481669, member: 9873"] I think a couple of you have mentioned that you use exchange-traded funds (ETF) to invest in certain market sectors. I've been getting into mining penny stocks lately, but I'm also looking at mid-cap and large miners. Unfortunately, my Vanguard mutual funds aren't as invested in mining companies as I would like, since the funds stick mainly to companies trading on the NYSE, and many smaller mining companies are traded on overseas exchanges. Here are a few mining ETFs I've looked into: - Amplify Lithium and Battery Technology (BATT)- Invests not only in companies mining lithium battery metals, but also companies that produce or research the batteries or use them, like Tesla. About 100 holdings. - Global X Lithium and Battery Tech (LIT)- 40 holdings, including miners, battery producers, and users of the batteries. About 45% of this fund's holdings are in Chinese companies. - VanEck Vectors Rare Earth/Strategic Metals (REMX)- 20 holdings in companies that mine, process, or recycle rare earths minerals. - iShares MSCI Global Metals & Mining Producers (PICK)- 200 holdings in producers of any type of metal except gold, silver, and platinum - SPDR S&P Metals and Mining (XME)- 25 holdings in mining and metals companies that trade on the US stock exchanges (too limited for me). - Global X Copper Miners (COPX)- 33 holdings in copper mining companies. - VanEck Vectors Gold Miners (GDX)- 52 holdings in gold and silver miners and traders, mainly large companies but some mid-caps. - VanEck Vectors Junior Gold Miners (GDXJ)- 96 holdings with a lot of overlap with their GDX fund but includes some smaller companies. - ETFMG Prime Junior Silver Miners (SILJ)- 49 holdings in mid-cap and large silver and gold miners, but focusing on silver - Global X Silver Miners (SIL)- 40 holdings in mining companies that mainly produce silver, but some gold. - iShares MSCI Global Gold Miners (RING)- 40 holdings in gold mining companies - Sprott Gold Miners (SGDM)- 34 holdings in gold mining companies - iShares Global Silver and Metals Miners (SLVP)- 31 holdings in silver miners. - Sprott Junior Gold Miners (SGDJ)- 35 holdings in small or mid-cap gold miners - US Global Go Gold and Precious Metals Miners (GOAU)- 28 holdings in large gold and silver miners - Global X Gold Explorers (GOEX)- 50 holdings in gold and silver miners, including some smaller companies. - Global X Uranium (URA)- 38 holdings in uranium miners and traders - Amplify Pure Junior Gold Miners (JGLD)- 57 holdings in large and mid-sized gold miners As you can see, there are less than 100 in-production precious metals mining companies in the world as it seems to be a tough business. None of these funds invests in mining companies that are still in the exploration stage, unless they already have interest in in-production mines (like Royal Gold). So, for exposure to larger mining and metals companies, these funds may be an easy way to get into it. Because of the recent, two-week bull market, the prices for shares in these ETFs are at, or close to, their 52-week highs. So, I've watch-listed several of them (BATT, LIT, REMX, PICK, COPX, GDX, SILJ, URA, and JGLD) and may buy them when the price comes down a little. [/QUOTE]
