Q: For Canadians to hold a physical gold or silver ETF rather than a product that uses derivatives type ETF that has more risk, would you recommend PSLV, CEF or PHYS. Do you feel these track the spot prices well. I am looking right now and today silver spot on bloomberg is up 1.60% but PSLV on Toronto is up only 0.60% and the currency difference does not explain the difference as PSLV in US$ is up only 0.60% as well. That seems alot that is pushing over to a NAV premium discount.

Q: Hello,
I’d like your opinion on phys.ca. I’m holding a small amount that I bought at $13 and the price is down a little. Is now a good time to average in or do you think it’s still too early?. What are your thoughts on Projections of $1800 plus per oz? This will still be a relatively small holding in a trading account.

As always thank you for your insight.
Dave

Q: I would like more details on PHYS that was discussed briefly today. Apparently there is no dividend, EPS is $220, and Book value is $10.95. Since there is no dividend, is the EPS used to purchase more gold? Are there any MER or storage fees? How does it differ from PHYS.U (Sprott PHysical Gold Trust transferable redeemable units? Where can I find more details on those shares?

Q: Good Afternoon,
Any thoughts on the pros and cons of owning a physical Gold Trust (PHYS) to hold in your brokerage account or actual gold bars stored in a secure vault somewhere? I suppose the obvious would be you can easily see and track the PHYS daily in your account and provide instant liquidity if one chooses to sell. I know you have to be careful with some Gold ETf's and products out there that don't really have the gold to back the paper but that is not the case for PHYS. Do you see any benefit in purchasing actual gold bars? Insurance & storage costs, illiquid and not easy access would be strikes against holding the physical metal.
Any thoughts on this?
Thank-you

Q: The last question I asked (below) was about a name in CAD.
The answers were about ETFs in USD.
Thank you for providing names in CAD.
Question:
Could you please suggest a Gold bullion ETF in CAD - Not a "paper ETF" but an actual physical like PHYS? Thank you.

Answer:

We would be fine with PHYS here. SGOL is another option, holding physical gold bars in Swiss vaults
