Erik Wetterling – Silver Viper Runs Post Financing, Hecla Exploration A Positive For Headwater Gold

Erik Wetterling, Founder and Editor of The Hedgeless Horseman website, joins us to review the dichotomy between #gold and #silver stock fundamentals versus market reactions based on investor #sentiment; which is oscillating quite a bit in both directions over the last 2 months. We review how the sentiment and investor reaction towards company financings has changed a great deal over the last few months. Now upsized financings, like the one we saw announced for Silver Viper Minerals Corp. (TSXV: VIPR) (OTCQB: VIPRF) for $15 million, are having positive reactions after the news is released; instead of it being a reason to sell the stock down. Erik points out that now investors are more hesitant to just sit on the sidelines, because they see the risk being to the upside if the upsized capital raised can then lead to further news and value creation from the company.

Next we discussed what kinds of other resource sector news is getting the best reactions or most traction from the market, from fundamental milestones to merger and acquisition transactions. Erik highlights that he often likes to search for sector news that may still be impactful for juniors that he is positioned in, even if the news is not directly associated with a given company.
