RE:RE:Sprott not happypeople including sprott get too bent over when they hear the word stream. it all depends on the pricing. getting $100 billion for a 1% stream would be a huge bargain, just because it is a stream does not make it necessarily bad. i think people hate streams because of the early deals where streamers shafted miners with large percent streams like metanor which was 20% and they could not make any money because of the large percent stream. a 3.25% long term stream which caldas got is like a 1.5% to 2% nsr which is common for miners. keep in mind that it will take many years before wheaton gets back their $110 million investment. they lose many years of interest from that cash and lose from opportunity cost, so any premium goes toward that lost opportunity.
stream, debt, and equity financing are all sides of the same coin. whether it is good or not all depends on the pricing and terms.
