Q: Back in July, I purchased the Global X Gold Explorers ETF (formerly GLDX, now GOEX). I was reluctant to sell when it started to dip, but since the price of gold keeps falling I'm wondering what to do. My time horizon is long and my allocation is small, so I can live with being in the red for many years. What I’m wondering is if it's safe to hang on to it, in terms of there being any risk to the underlying companies or even the ETF provider itself. Should I have any concerns about Global X? Also, if I can ask a related question, if an ETF under-performs for long periods, is there a risk of it being discontinued? Thanks for your help.
