Sounds ok to me. You could also say: "What's the point of my giving you advice?" Both of these could be used in conversation, but I don't know if they're perfect grammatically...

panjandrum Lapsed Moderator Belfast, Ireland English-Ireland (top end) Sep 28, 2006 #4 Strictly speaking (for the second time tonight) you need to use my. Why? Because the verb giving in giving you advice is a gerund, a verbal noun form.
