Auch – managed to pick up some ROICW for $1.11, and so far sitting on an 18% loss (at $0.9 currently). I am well aware that this is a geared investment with a potential total loss – but would like to hear any thoughts/insights about this baby Travis or others might have. Cheers!

On Small Bullion Royalty Play in Trouble

Personally I have been picking up more SAND at every 10% drop, so have quite a lot of shares (for me!) currently! They have plenty of cash onhand, and markets like these should be the perfect storm to negotiate new deals with cash strapped smaller miners. [...]
