COMMENT

A good way to play gold? The short answer is Yes. This is a multi faceted organization and have several different business lines. If you see continued growth in gold and silver, you are going to get the combination of higher market values for gold, and as a result, higher NAVs. Also, it will attract flows.

BUY
He thinks that gold looks very good technically. This could be another false rally. If the bull market goes on, gold might not performance as well as other equities. However, he thinks that gold will go higher in 2-3 years.
DON'T BUY
All asset managers are being decimated. This trades at a premium. It no longer trades with the gold price. But he likes this sector, though prefers Sprott's peers like AGF. Now is not a bad time to enter this space.
TOP PICK

He used to be a director here. Is now a major shareholder. Asset management of natural resources is a fine business. In 2011, AUM was US$3 billion, and is now US$25 billion. Good cash flow and a strong balance sheet now. Will do well if there's a bull market in natural resources in the next 5 years and could lead to being taken over by a major company like Blackrock. Pays a 3.2% dividend as you wait.

(Analysts’ price target is $38.41)
BUY

Good business. Would buy. 

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Dec 12/23, Up 42%)

Organic growth of internal products has done extremely well. Has become a brand name for precious metals investing, and increasingly in natural resources. Can see it being snapped up in a few years by a global financial player.

Disclosure:  He believes he's still the largest shareholder in Sprott.

TOP PICK

Most investors need some help investing in natural resources. Sprott is a brand name for natural resources, in physical trusts and in equities management. You get the same diversification as a mutual fund, except they pay you a dividend instead of you paying them a fee. That's pretty good math ;)  Yield is 2.87%.

Disclosure: he's a former employee and former director. He's a large shareholder, and may even be the largest one. But it's a stock he thinks every natural resource investor ought to own.

(Analysts’ price target is $73.13)
TOP PICK

A play on natural resources. Believes we're in a precious metals bull market. This name is a financial services brand name for gold and silver (as well as for uranium). Also active in many other materials, including the Sprott Physical Uranium Trust. Expanding from precious metals to the whole natural resources complex.

Assets under management now ~$40B USD and growing fairly rapidly. As assets grow, FCF from management fees will be enormous. Yield is 1.79%.

(Disclaimer:  He's a former employee and a former director of Sprott. Also the current largest shareholder at almost 10% of the company.)

(Analysts’ price target is $87.13)
PARTIAL SELL
To protect purchasing power?

Yes, that's exactly the reason to own Sprott. It's a diversifier. Gold is a way as an investor to protect yourself from inflation and geopolitical concerns. This name brings leverage to gold because of assets they own and funds they manage. It also brings uranium. He sold some last week to take some profit after an unbelievable run. Dividends go up.

Doesn't see gold or uranium falling. Great place to park your money.
