RE: Silver versus gold leverage So SLW pays 5$/ounce. Silver is at 30$/ounce. So if you divide 5 by 30 you get 16.67%. So if you minus 100 by 16.67 you get 83.33% margin. For SLW. So you only pay 16.67% of the spot price of silver and you profit 83.33% on every ounce.
Now SAND. You pay 450$/ounce of gold. Gold is at roughly 1660$/ounce. 27.10%. So if you minus 100 by 27.10 you get 72.90% Margin.
So SLW margin 83.33% at these levels. SAND 72.90%. SilverWheaton is better. You get alot more torque on SilverWheaton then any other streaming company. Unless Franco, Royal... Or any other streamer are more leveraged. Wich I doubt.
