Q: hi 5i
Share price has ticked up and seems to have settled at the lower end of the auction price......As the closing date nears and auction closes how would you expect SP to respond.... in general, would a higher auction price be viewed as positive and how do you think shareholder should view the results...

I am a little surprised the shares have not continued upwards a little more positively....

Would the shares price be expected to stabilize at the auction price or just continue their previous trajectory downward after auction close...
thx

Q: Hi 5i,
Without concern for diversification, if both owned but at relatively small weights, would you shift out of one to top up the other? My PF suffers from extreme weightings ranging from 20% positions to approx 1% positions. I expect I would benefit from addressing the lower end ie buy more or sell decisions.
Thanks

Thank you for your great service.
