Q: Hi, Would you have any thoughts on how HPS.a stock traded today, touching an all time high of $96.75 at the open and then reverse course to close 5% down from previous day's close, with momentum on the downside, for most part of the day ? This, of course, followed stock price going up almost everyday in a straight line for past couple of months.

Does it indicate a near term term Top in the stock ( at least between now and the results in early March ) ? Also, do you think, it could simply be profit taking after an incredible 300% run over past 12 months, and there has been no adverse or material change, specific to the company and the industry ( demand related to transformers/electrification/grids , competition etc). Noted that company weight was bumped up to 3%, in your model Portfolio, last week, so 5i, likely has strong conviction in Hammond Power and comfort at current levels. Thank You

Q: Hello 5i Team

My understanding is all (12 issues) of the Brookfield Office Property Preferred shares (BPO) were removed from the S&P TSX Preferred Share Index (TXPR) effective Friday January 18 (the quarterly rebalancing date). My understanding is the BPO shares were removed because S&P downgraded them to P-4 on December 21, 2023.

However I can find no mention of this re-balancing event on the S&P website or other news sources. I have previously seen new releases from S&P when companies are added/removed from the S&P TSX 60 and S&P TSX Composite index.

After reviewing the holdings listing for the CPD etf (which tracks TXPR), the BPO shares are now removed.

Is there any other news sources I should be monitoring? This seems to be a material event that S&P did not disclose?

Thanks

Q: I was going to ask if now would be a good time to take a small position in PKI anticipating price appreciation once the Boardroom issues are settled but given PKI is hitting new highs today it seems investors are not worried. Would you consider starting a small position in PKI now?

Thanks for your advice.

Mike

Q: With the launch of bitcoin ETFs what "crystal ball prognostications" can you have for such companies as Galaxy, Riot?

Bail? Hold? Buy?

The last week has given them a proper lathering, and I'm wondering if there is more (pain) to come or if it's a good time to add to the position?
