Like gold, silver is considered a precious metal that is both practical and a valuable investment. Used in currency, ornaments, utensils and jewelry, silver also serves many scientific purposes since it has the highest electrical and thermal conductivity for a metal.

The price of silver has fluctuated greatly over the last 100 years, soaring to an all-time high of $49.45 per troy ounce in 1980 and falling to $4.15 an ounce by 2001. But since then, it has steadily risen to more than $15 an ounce by 2006.

There are many publicly traded companies, foreign and domestic, that mine and produce silver. To learn more about them and benefit from spikes in silver prices, click below.
