A-Mark Precious Metals stocks highlighted by Night Watch Investment Management

On January 7, 2025, A-Mark Precious Metals, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMRK) stock closed at $27.50 per share with a market capitalization of $637.563 million.

“As a long-biased fund, we prefer to own various countercyclical companies to lower the risk of our portfolio. At the beginning of the year, we identified a pawn store operator and a wholesaler / retailer of precious metals called A-Mark Precious Metals, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMRK) as interesting long-term opportunities that simultaneously provided a hedging function to our portfolio. We have exited our position in AMRK during the year. We believed that economic uncertainty and higher precious metals prices would spark renewed consumer demand for physical gold and silver coins. This demand did not materialize and we therefore saw no immediate catalyst in AMRK.” stated Night Watch Investment Management in its Q4 2024 investor letter

Author Collin Plume predicts spike in silver

“Bitcoin disrupted global finance just a decade ago, now, silver is emerging as the next keystone of global transformation—poised to reshape industries, currencies and geopolitics.”

 “With reserves projected to run out in just 20 years, Plume predicts silver’s price could surpass $60 per ounce.”

According to Plume, nonsourced calculations are “showing the U.S. would need over 3.5 billion ounces [109,375 tons] of silver to transition to 100 percent solar power.” The writer and his publisher say this ties into “how China’s dominance in silver production threatens U.S. strategic interests.”
