Good morning, New Port Richey. Eighty-two today with showers and scattered storms, and it stays that way through Friday before the weekend warms into the upper eighties.

Tropical Depression Nine formed in the southwestern Gulf yesterday and the city says staff are watching it. There are no watches or warnings here, and the week ahead is the ordinary unsettled one in the forecast above.

The library has just added 25,000 comics and graphic novels you can read free on a phone, both of Wendell Krinn's cybersecurity teachers have won $2,000 grants, and the Agape pantry at First Baptist Hudson opens this morning.

Since March 2020, silver has returned about 402%. The silver miners returned 445%.

That gap is the leverage our research team focuses on. When silver rises, a producer's net asset value can rise much faster, and share prices tend to follow. It works in both directions, and a mine is only as good as the company running it.

The Ultimate Silver Playbook shows how the team separates the miners worth owning from the rest, and which silver stocks are on its watchlist now. It's free.
