In the following video, Fool contributor Dan Caplinger explains the basics of the silver streaming business model that Silver Wheaton (SLW -2.02%) uses to contract with partner mining companies.

Dan also highlights a new agreement with Brazil's Vale (VALE -1.50%) as an example of a new partner streaming agreement that features a focus on gold. Can Silver Wheaton continue to profit from future agreements with partners such as Barrick Gold (ABX -0.62%), Primaro Mining (PPP +0.00%), and Hudbay Minerals (HBM -4.93%)?

Dan discusses how the price of silver may affect Silver Wheaton's dividend, which is currently based on 20% of cash flow. And he also points out why the Federal Reserve's change in tone regarding future stimulus policy is a factor that investors should monitor closely.
