QUESTIONS
1 2020 has been a rollercoaster year on financial markets, how have your investments performed and what were your biggest surprises?
2 In terms of commodities, which performed more strongly than you had prepared for?
3 Listed mining investment opportunities range from highly speculative ones such as explorers through to miners with operating mines. What sort of mining stocks do you recommend to retail investors?
4 You’ve recently highlighted the problem of investors adding too many precious metal stocks to a portfolio. What do you see as the drawbacks of retail investors over-diversifying their portfolios?
5 Folks are now getting pretty optimistic about a global vaccine for COVID-19. What upside is there in buying physical gold or gold stocks now?
6 Many market commentators are now saying gold’s role as a store of value will be taken over by Bitcoin. As the value of fiat currencies continues to be eroded and the price of digital currencies continues to rise, how will gold be impacted?
7 Looking ahead of 2021 for resources, which commodities do you think are positioned to perform best? And how have you adjusted your holdings heading into the New Year?
8 Here in Australia mining makes up a significant part of our index and Sprott is certainly across it, having invested in precious and base metals explorer and developer Adriatic Metals Plc (ASX:ADT, LSE:ADT1) mid this year: What attracted you to this company?
