In the following video, Fool contributor Dan Caplinger discusses some advantages accruing to Silver Wheaton (WPM -2.15%) as the world's largest silver streaming company.
Dan explains how Silver Wheaton's experience in providing financing to mining partners helps build credibility in negotiating future agreements that may benefit investors beyond the recent price declines in silver. He also believes that Silver Wheaton's existing partner network, consisting of large mining companies such as Barrick Gold (GOLD -3.98%) and Goldcorp (GG), is a competitive advantage.
Finally, Dan shares how a recent streaming agreement for gold with Brazilian mining giant Vale (VALE 0.16%) provides diversification for the future.
