At $33 Silver Wheaton is trading at 15xs 2012 estimated earnings, which ITZ believes a low valuation and a buy. As of December 31, 2010, Silver Wheaton had 14 long-term silver purchase agreements. Under these agreements, the company has the right to buy all or part of the silver production at a low fixed cost. So, beyond that initial investment, it is like growth without ongoing capital expenditures that can be used to hedge its own silver production. The company also has two long-term precious metal agreements similarly structured.

Silver Wheaton drew from 16 different mines in 2011 and it is expected to bring at least three more mines into production soon. read

ITZ suggests taking a 1/4 position here at $32.50. legging in again (1/4 position) under $32. Then waiting for the earnings report later this week to add to the position.
