However, I still think that Sprott can beat the market. My guess is that they closed at one point in time because they could not find enough good opportunities and the size of the mutual funds might have hurt his investment returns. SP,

They try hard to make it sound like more than it is, but it's all about the past. I'm sure they rated funds investing in sub-prime mortgages as "stable" and "performing well" until last year. I would probably be sticking to index funds if I did this, but after checking out the Sprott fund I'm impressed that it has actually closed to new investors at times - it may be one of the few good ones.
