Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Not my worst, but far from my best TFSA performer. Small weighting that I often think about cleaning up. I can't seem to get past the thought that their assets must be worth something to others given drilling results. I see a decided shift toward Chinese board participants. Is such a sale possible in regulatory environment? What are your thoughts on continuing to hold? Might the Chinese possibility turn my frown upside down here?

Q: Basil III comes into affect this year. From a piece in Seeking Alpha on Basil III I read:

QUOTE:
To sum up, gold will become a risk-free Tier 1 asset and it will become more expensive to buy and sell unallocated gold. These factors are highly bullish for physical gold. So, investors in this precious metal will be generously rewarded, provided they buy physical gold. But let me explain this in a bit more detail.

Under Basel III, gold would become a Tier 1 asset or a zero-risk asset, for banks. As mentioned in the Basel III framework,

...at national discretion, gold bullion held in own vaults or on an allocated basis to the extent backed by bullion liabilities can be treated as cash and therefore risk-weighted at 0%. In addition, cash items in the process of collection can be risk-weighted at 20%.
END QUOTE

What affect will this have on Sprott's holdings of gold and on my ownership of shares in PHYS? If it is positive I should be buying more. Right?

Thank you...
