<<Does anyone know: is it typical for silver stocks to lag a price surge in the metal price?>>

For PAA this has been the typical pattern for at least the past couple months. It usually takes a couple days of increasing silver prices before we eat through the sellers who presumably got in at the top of the last rally (this is when I start buying some call options). Then we get a sudden pop in price and volume as new buyers start coming in rapidly. As I write we just broke through the persistent selling at $5 5/16 US and jumped to 5 5/8. If the silver price can hold for a day or two then we should rapidly get back to ~$6 1/2 US. If it falls after that then we've just created a new pool of disappointed sellers for the next time around.
