Newmont Corporation (NEM) Outperforms Broader Market: What You Need to Know

NEM moving 2.5% is nice but miners have been lagging the metal badly. Gold at $4526 and silver at $71 means these mining stocks are still playing catch-up from years of underperformance. The smart money knows physical always outperforms paper in the long run. While NEM shareholders celebrate small wins, stackers have been sitting pretty watching their metal appreciate 40% year over year. Mining stocks carry operational risk, permitting delays, and management decisions that can tank your position overnight. Your stack sits in your safe, producing nothing but peace of mind. NEM at $101 might look attractive to traders, but I'd rather own the actual gold they're pulling out of the ground.
