Investment bankers hate them [prospect generators] because they raise money from other mining companies rather than through written [bank] offerings.“So there’s no research from the sell-side because they never get to do any underwritings to support them,” Rule added.As a final comment Rule noted that, “All of a sudden, the prospect generators, which are unknown and unloved, have customers flocking to them. A circumstance where your business gets better and better, and your share price gets worse and worse – is a speculator’s dream. And that’s the circumstance that confronts us right now.”To watch the full video interview with Mr. Rick Rule, Chairman of Sprott U.S. Holdings, Click here....Regards to all.[/table][/table][/table][/table]

I had the chance to sit down once again, with Rick Rule, Chairman of Sprott U.S. Holdings. It was a fascinating interview, as Mr. Rule discussed the general state of the resource equity market, along with his most favored segment of the space – exploration. More specifically, the prospect generators.
