Q: PEO is down in round numbers about 10% this month. Of particular concern is the massive 1 + million shares on Friday.

Can't find anything on this, with the technicals not looking to good anything you can add to this scenario?

Thanks

Q: Hi 5i,
What do you think of the guidance issued by PONY yesterday? Does it change your view of the stock at all? I have been wondering about the impact of PONY's deals with Altagas when the new facilities are up and running. How much of a positive catalyst could that be for PONY? Thanks.
