Q: Physical gold is down to levels last seen in February. I get it that it can always go lower, but is there anything about the price of gold alone that sets a defacto floor (analogously to book value for a business), or is it too much at the mercy of dollar strength, etc., to think of in this way?

Q: A follow up question on PBH if I may. I'm not questioning the value in PBH so much as I'm trying to understand how to interpret the numbers I see on the Globe's stock quote page. From 2012 to 2016, revenue has increased from 960 to 1,485 million, but net income was 15 mil in 2012 vs 12 million today, and diluted normalized EPS plus dividend was 2.10 in 2012 vs 2.14 today. I'm just wondering what I'm missing in the bottom line results that would justify a tripling of the stock price over the same period if the acquisitions aren't hitting the bottom line. I'm quite new to this and am just seeking to understand.

I am looking to find an individual investment or etf offering cloud storage securities. I prefer to invest with c$ due to currency exchange fees but if the best companies at good valuation are in US$, then so be it.

Would you please suggest a few options and comment on valuation or other significant indicator to consider before entry today?
