Q: Good day. I am feeling confused about what's happening with XPH today and hope you might be able to explain things. This is a low beta ETF which rarely shows spikes. During the past ten days of volatility it's highest spikes were in the 2% range. Yet today, despite the markets being largely unmoved, it is down 4.5%, perhaps it's biggest fall since I've owned it. Or is it. Yahoo Finance shows it up based on yesterday's closing price of $109.31 but others like Bloomberg and the Globe, show it down. The Globe shows yesterday's closing at $109 but still has it down more than 4%. Nasdaq shows yesterday's closing at $114.80. If it is down that much, what might have caused it on a quiet Friday?

Q: Hello - I see the last question/answer for TZZ was Nov 10th. There was no reason for the new lows. Since the it has dropped even further, but I still have not been able to locate a reason. Your thoughts would be appreciated. Also has there been noticeable insider activity?

Merry Christmas to you and yours. Mike

Q: Hi, I like to measure my portfolio performance ongoing with that of the S&P/TSX Composite Index. I know that Globe Investor Gold calculates dividends paid as included in my portfolio return. Do you know if the return listed for the TSX Index (5.32% YTD as of Dec.18) includes dividends paid or not? Thanks, J.

Q: In August of this year, you noted that although Celestica was a good company, it was also a "business... that ... is more of a 'later cycle' business, meaning it does better as the economy really gets going."

Would you consider the economy having picked up enough for this company to be a good buy at this time? (I already own Enghouse, Sylogist, Avigilon and Apple in Technology, each with a 4% weighting, except for AVO which is at 2.5%)

I am doing some year-end cleaning up of deadwood, and re-allocating some funds to a few companies with more growth. (Mind you, I'm thinking of taking AVO behind the barn and shooting it, to offer an old farmer's almanac analogy.)

Your thoughts are always valued.
