In this interview Rick Rule, president and CEO of Sprott U.S. Holdings, shares investing insights learned over his four decades of success in the natural resource sector. He begins by explaining the significance of Sprott Inc.'s recent NYSE listing and answers whether Sprott Lending will be as profitable in this bull market as it was in the bear market. Rick discusses the discount rate and gold price Sprott uses internally when evaluating development projects. Rick points out that cynical, lone wolf traders can make extraordinary profits in this bull market just by trading gold stock promotions. He also provides an educational commentary on Vizsla Resources Corp.'s recent impressive drill results and whether it was wise for the company to agree to its recent C$25M bought deal. And Rick offers educational commentary on the wisdom of Alio and Argonaut's merger and whether the recent C$110M bought deal offering is the right decision.
