Hi, Tim Plaehn here.
Bank of America predicts silver prices could hit $309 in 2026.
But while everyone's chasing silver bullions…
A handful of investors are doing something different.
They're getting paid every single month from a new investment tied directly to silver's historic surge.
I'm not talking about mining stocks, options, or physical bullion.
I'm talking about a powerful little-known income fund — trading for just $42 — that's delivered up to 20% in annual distributions….
And could give you the chance to collect $1,170/month.
Click here to get monthly payouts from silver.
But hurry: the next payment is just days away.
To your income,

MarketBeat Week in Review – 02/09 - 02/13
Reported by MarketBeat Staff. Posted: 2/14/2026.
Stocks remained under pressure despite a cooler-than-expected January inflation reading that offset an earlier hot jobs report. What that means for the timing of future interest rate cuts is anyone's guess.
For now, investors remain focused on valuation, particularly among stocks tied to the artificial intelligence (AI) trade. Not only are many of these names expensive by traditional metrics, but there's also growing concern about AI's impact on the jobs market. This has become a circular debate.
That said, this earnings season shows many major AI-related players are posting strong numbers and reiterating or raising guidance. Earnings ultimately drive stock prices, which is why the overall outlook for stocks remains bullish.

- U.S. markets will be closed on Monday in observance of Presidents Day.
U.S. markets will be closed on Monday in observance of Presidents Day. If you have the day off, we hope you take some time to catch up on insights from MarketBeat analysts. Here are some of our most popular articles from the past week.
Articles by Thomas Hughes
Software stocks have been hit hard in 2026 amid concerns of AI disruption. Thomas Hughes explained why the sell-off has been overblown—and, perhaps more importantly, indiscriminate. Earnings season is separating pretenders from contenders, and Hughes pointed investors to three software stocks to buy on recent weakness.
Cloudflare Inc. (NYSE: NET) is another tech company many view as being disrupted by AI. Hughes highlighted the company's latest earnings report as an example of how AI is fueling growth and setting the stage for new highs in 2026.
Verizon Communications, Inc. (NYSE: VZ) is up more than 15% in 2026 and serves as an example of a flight-to-quality trade. Hughes analyzed the company's latest earnings and explained why it may not be too late for investors to get on board a stock that could be this year's total return leader.
Articles by Sam Quirke
The predictions market has pummeled online gaming stocks, but contrarian investors may want to consider Flutter Entertainment plc (NYSE: FLUT). Sam Quirke pointed out that FLUT stock looks oversold relative to the company's fundamentals, and analysts are taking note.
Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) has pulled back as investors digest the company's planned $200 billion CapEx for AI. Quirke noted that AMZN is flashing a bullish technical indicator that preceded strong rallies the last two times it appeared.
Is Applied Materials Inc. (NASDAQ: AMAT) setting up investors for failure, or is it building momentum for a bigger move higher? Quirke outlined what to watch for in the company's upcoming earnings report.
Articles by Chris Markoch
Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ: MSFT) keeps getting caught up in the broader tech sell-off. Chris Markoch wrote that while some investors view the stock as "AI or bust," they're overlooking that its multi-year cloud revenue is already locked in, providing a foundation for future AI adoption.
Vertiv (NYSE: VRT) delivered an earnings report and guidance that exemplified why "AI bubble" talk feels like hyperbole. Markoch summarized the bull case but cautioned that VRT stock may be extended after a strong rally. Read more: Vertiv earnings prove the AI infrastructure boom is intact.
The case for lithium in 2026 remains bullish, but the timeline may be extended. Markoch explained what that means for investors considering Albemarle Corp. (NYSE: ALB)—the stock has been tracking lithium prices, and dips may offer entry points.
Articles by Ryan Hasson
Early in 2026, sector rotation has been a common theme, and consumer staples have stood out. Ryan Hasson explained why consumer staples often shine when the broader market slumps, and he highlighted one ETF in the sector that could offer upside.
Selling often begets more selling. Hasson noted that could be the case with Rocket Lab (NASDAQ: RKLB), whose Neutron rocket hiccup sparked the recent sell-off. But analyst sentiment and technical indicators suggest the reaction may have been overdone, which could set up a buying opportunity.
All the talk of an AI bubble may have distracted investors from opportunities in areas like optical networking and photonics. Hasson highlighted two companies that have been surging in 2026 and explained why they likely have more upside ahead.
Articles by Leo Miller
Earnings reports tell a story. Two Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ: AVGO) customers announced massive CapEx plans—including spending on memory components that Broadcom supplies. As Leo Miller noted, those growth projections aren't reflected in AVGO stock, and that's where the opportunity lies.
The latest crypto sell-off has taken its toll on Robinhood Markets Inc. (NASDAQ: HOOD), which is down nearly 50%. Miller pointed out Robinhood has growth drivers beyond crypto and equities, making HOOD a potential buy-the-dip opportunity.
Insider buying often signals confidence, but Miller highlighted three names that may make investors question that assumption. The facts speak for themselves—find out which high-risk stocks insiders are buying and why.
Articles by Nathan Reiff
Defense stocks are catching a bid this year, and one under-the-radar name is Draganfly Inc. (NASDAQ: DPRO). Nathan Reiff explained why this drone company is stacking wins and boosting capacity to meet demand.
Also flying under the radar is D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS). The quantum computing firm has announced contracts with defense companies that could open another avenue for future revenue growth.
Markets are grinding higher but still seem to be searching for direction, prompting some investors to worry about downside risk. In response, Reiff highlighted three ETFs that employ strategies to protect against downside.
Articles by Dan Schmidt
Schmidt also noted the rally in consumer staples stocks and highlighted three names that were beaten down in 2025 but are now showing technical signals that support a strong breakout.
Travel stocks continue to reflect strong spending from higher-income consumers. That growth has shown up in the earnings and guidance for the three travel stocks Schmidt analyzed this week: read more here.
Insurance stocks have been another safe-haven play for investors rotating out of tech. This week, Schmidt highlighted three insurers that recently broke out to new 52-week highs and appear to have room to move higher.
Articles by Jeffrey Neal Johnson
Certain stocks require conviction—take Intel Corp. (NASDAQ: INTC). Jeffrey Neal Johnson provided a deep dive into Intel's AI offensive, arguing the stock may be comically undervalued. Those initiatives, however, face current supply constraints that give the bears some leverage.
Johnson also covered the surge in institutional buying for IREN Limited (NASDAQ: IREN), which sold off sharply after its Feb. 5 earnings report. Even after the recent buying, Johnson explained why analysts may be mispricing IREN, potentially setting up a bullish rerating in coming quarters.
Buying immediately after an IPO carries both risk and reward. Johnson examined the successful IPO of Once Upon a Farm (NYSE: OFRM) and explained why the company's business model and valuation make it a name investors might want to consider: read the analysis.
Articles by Jordan Chussler
Energy stocks have led the market in 2026, but Jordan Chussler urged caution for investors picking among the big oil names. He also outlined a safer way to play the sector's revival.
Despite concerns about streaming fatigue, the subscription economy remains healthy. Chussler highlighted two subscription stocks that continue to dominate their niches.
To close the week, earnings reports continue to tell a story for investors willing to listen. Chussler highlighted three companies whose recent reports provide outlooks for their respective stocks, sectors and industries: read more.
