Silver Wheaton Corp. (USA) (NYSE:SLW)

Gold Bugs (and silverfish) are going to be exterminated. Look for Gold Bubble to break back down under $700 an ounce. What is the rationale for the run-up? No inflation, dollar is bouncing back off historical lows. This can't out-perform the S&P over the next 6 months. I am going big thumbs down on as many gold and silver stocks as I can. Have any good ticker sugestions for me?

This has been a consistent winner, and as others have pointed out, leverages the volatility of Silver.

So I didnt listen to TMFSinch and missed the majority of the runup. What of it?

A good company in a strong commodities sector, with inflation
on its way.

becouse in the first place SLW will dig more silver at a lower cost and in the near future the silver will become very more expensive .
So , more production at a lower cost and higher revenues , what should we want more ??????

5 EMPLOYEES..NO OVERHEAD...WORLD'S BEST BIZ PLAN..STRONG FINANCES..NO TAXES..WILL EVENTUALLY HAVE TO PAY OUT ALL IN DIVIDENDS..GREAT CHERRY PICKER

Great silver producer.
Even better than gold.
Will benefit from falling dollar,
and fiscal problems.

Gold and silver stay up for a while.

this is a MF pick, so i won't go much into why i'm long on this company specifically. suffice to say it has an excellent (ie, cheap) production model with good output targets for 2009 and 2013. i also like that it's both in gold and silver.

everyone's hung up on gold, but silver's increase this year has been impressive, especially considering the erosion of industrial demand. silver continuous contracts are up about 43% YTD to $16.4/oz (though still significantly down from 2008's high), silver ETFs are buying like crazy (SLV, for example, had accumulated 8,724.86 tonnes by June). in smaller news:

"On the bullion side of coin sales, American Silver Eagles jumped up another 450,000 during the last seven days. They passed over 19 million — 19,214,500 to be exact. Last year’s record of 20.583 million could be shattered by month’s end.
In related silver bullion news that is sure to impact sales next year, the US Mint today released the list for the new America the Beautiful Quarters to be issued from 2010 to 2021. What many don’t realize is that the law authorizing the 56 quarters also mandates 5-oz, .999 fine silver coin bullion versions. These will have a diameter of nearly twice that of the Silver Eagles. "

i do see this as a relatively longer-term play, however. price may fall soon. hedge fund shorts for silver future contracts currently far outweigh longs. and if the dow really takes off, or the yen rises against the dollar, silver may fall. but it's never a bad idea to have an inflation hedge, in my opinion, so use price dips for acquisitions.

As a "silver streaming" company with existing contracts to buy silver from mining companies at very favorable prices, Silver Wheaton is very highly leveraged on the price of silver. If silver goes up, SLW will benefit tremendously.

Is SLW a good buy now

simple equation, let everyone else due the work for you. silver wheton buys there silver from gold corp and agnico eagle for $4/oz. thats a hell of a profit at todays $17 plus prices.

The dollar is fallimg in value

WILL DOMINATE

low cost silver buying

One of the top ten Silver mines with tons of reserve and plenty of cash. How can you beat the current price? Check out their website and review their holdings and forward plan.

Silver Wheaton (SLW) is not a "miner" in the normal sense of the word. There are no miners wearing hard hats going down into Silver Wheaton mines since they own no mines. What Silver Wheaton is instead is what's called a "silver streaming" company; they have contracts with traditional gold and base metals miners to buy their "waste" silver as a by product of their mining for copper, gold, lead and zinc, at set contract prices. This is the most leveraged play on the price of silver I have found other than playing with options or futures. Silver Wheaton remains as the largest position in my portfolio.

ran way to high in july. reentry point is 7

Metals futures are bright, with very questionable dollar values. You do not have to own gold to make a money in valued metals. Buy a thousand shares of silver and make 1K every dollar it goes up, instead of a few ounces of gold for a lot more, with less value rise.
