AGQ: More Risk Than Reward Going Into Summer (Rating Downgrade)

ProShares UltraPro Silver (AGQ) ETF did deliver a +311% price return since my last bullish article in August 2023, far outpacing the S&P 500. I am downgrading AGQ from Buy to Sell, projecting a significant silver price correction to continue over the next 3–6 months.

Silver ETFs: Not Always Second Place

Throughout most of 2025, silver has recently outperformed gold, proving (ironically) that it is not always second place.
