Silver Wheaton: The Leadership
During the past decade, Silver Wheaton has taken advantage of soaring silver prices using its unique silver streaming business model. But in the following video, Fool contributor Dan Caplinger says there will be difficult times ahead for Silver Wheaton to navigate. One of the most obvious challenges is the recent decline in silver prices.
Dan, however, does believe CEO Randy Smallwood has the experience necessary to deal with these challenges. Strategies may include obtaining better terms from existing partners such as Barrick Gold , Goldcorp , and Hudbay Minerals on future contracts.
Finally, Dan cites Silver Wheaton's new partnership with Brazilian mining giant Vale as an example of Smallwood's willingness to take advantage of new opportunities to grow and diversify into gold.
Check out the video for more details.
If you're looking for a company whose success is determined by the metals market, but without involving itself in the risks of physically mining the metals, then Silver Wheaton provides a unique play on the future of silver. SLW chooses to finance the mining of silver; it has grown sales and net income every year since 2008, and also has increased competitive advantages over its limited peer group.
