Sandstorm Gold Warrants

By dvolonn, April 8, 2012

I wanted to ask for any advise or insight with my Sandstorm Warrants. I am an American and have the Warrants but was thinking of selling them and buying the stock (SNDXF) which I don’t have any.

I don’t know if they’re “easily spooked,” but both tranches are thinly traded — SSL.WT.B is hugely out of the money and therefore lower-priced (quite risky, since you’re hoping for a $14+ share price within less than a year — it expires next September). There is sometimes some speculative trading in that when the Sandstorm share price gets active, but there’s a very high risk of it being worthless at expiration. SSL.WT doesn’t expire until 2020 and is in-the-money right now ($4 strike price), so it is far pricier and trades very little. Both are difficult to buy if you’re… Read more »
