Secondary offering in the equity of the CEF fund is pending, although this tends to be a wash less transaction fees because the proceeds are used to expand the base of metals held.
The premiums expand and contract in the funds depending on sentiment on the future course of gold and silver bullion prices.

There is no NAV presented because the volume of any metal that might be underlying the price fluctuations varies greatly, and can lag.
"You are the very cause of your ignorance, yourselves. You put away the light, yourselves; you first pluck out both your own eyes, yourselves; and after that other men’s too, so that the blind may lead the blind, until you both fall into the pit.”
Thomas More, The Sadness of Christ (Gethsemane), Tower of London, 1535
