RE: piano man "Note that others might consider that 770 million valuation of the silver royalty to be too high."
There is absolutely no question that this is what the majority of investors think. And this is what is so amazing. No matter how much is reported on by knowledgable commentators, folks seem to think that the business model of the next 10 years will be the same as the business model of the past 10 years. It won't. For example, how many shareholders (or prospective shareholders of SBB and other resource companies) have any idea that about 90% of US Treasuries are currently being purchased by the Federal Reserve, and what this means for everything, particularly gold and silver? How many even know what the Federal Reserve is and where it gets its money from? How many know that the COMEX/NYMEX is a failed price discovery mechanism due to the limitless naked short positions of a few major bullion banks? How many know that easy to mine silver and gold is a rapidly depleteing resource, and new supplies are increasingly harder to find as ore reserves are being depleted much faster than new reserves are being added? How many know that this is the reason why companies are exploring in Northern Canada and Siberia? And so on. Silver will not go down in price and will not remain at its current level. It can only go up from here. The same for gold. Yet ZERO of this factors into the minds of most "investors". In fact, they have priced SBB as though silver and gold are about to plunge in value - the exact opposite of what will happen. That perhaps more than anything is what would be interesting to get an explanation for.
