Silver Wheaton was also a profitable trade, I sold covered calls and got called away at a nice profit, may be time to but back in with the recent pullback below what i got taken out at. Also own Altius because of their "prospect generator" activities. They just bought out Garson Gold which I had bought at .12c. Takeovers can be very lucrative, just sold 500 shares of Duluth @3.95 for over 300% profit last week before precious metals sold off.

However, in this case probably the most important thing to consider is that IRC has been in the process of getting taken over for the past couple months. Unless you see a more hostile bid coming forward you will probably have to be content buying the royalty company that is taking this one over. Thanks for all your work. Always love your sleuthing.

Obviously, the royalties are retained by the company, right ? Re:”… regular distribution besides the dividend?… the royalties… kept by the company…”
Obviously, the royalties are retained by the company, right ?

Or are the royalties all kept by the company and the investors’ upside is only on the stock price?". Or are the royalties distributed monthly, quarterly, annually or what ? Thanks.
