HPS

ducofnewyork

The financial markets are going through a once in a generation transformation in terms of the boom of private credit. Ultimately this is what will likely be made available in 401K accounts, and is one of the reasons Blackrock acquired GIP and HPS. Also a lot of private credit asset managers have launched BDCs to give retail investors opportunities to get exposure, so the trend has been happening already for the past couple of years.

Consumer and business sentiment is not near long term trends. Household debt and credit are showing cracks with entries into delinquency and severe delinquency, mainly for revolving debt. Foot traffic and retail traffic data is well down. HPS is significantly more negative. Not sure how any of those are close to “long term trends”, especially the cell phone data…

I started investing in Sept 2024. While I have some red ink, I also have black as well. I divested out of most American stocks. I have a bunch of Canadian stocks ($vbnk, $OGD, $GRGD are all doing well. I made a nice profit on $ZOMD, killed it with $HPS-A. I hold some $OUNZ (ETF that tracks gold), $VE . $BTC is currently down, but I'm not worried about it.  I focus on profitable small caps with great balance sheets

Hammond Power. HPS.TO for.the Canadians.... Makes good money and good consistent growth in a growing industry. Dividend is a little small though, hopefully they raise it as earnings grow

i assume you find older picks like MUSA, COKE, CLH, HWKN, KNSL, HPS-A too expensive

HPS-A for Canadian stocks. They make transformers. The more data centres and evs, the more money they make. Also, the rebuilding after the Russian invasion will need grid modernization

teacherJoe416

any ideas on HMM I was considering selling half of HPS to go in

creemeeseason

I've been posting about this one for awhile. I own Hammond power (HPS-A.TO, HMDPF) and the stock has appreciated in a way that the market recognizes this shortage. I still think there's room to run, but a lot of names have made big moves already.

Whalesftw123

An under looked industry is energy which AI needs a lot of. Specifically nuclear energy has quite a bit to benefit from rising energy demands. It’s already a bit priced in, but I’ve had good results investing in nuclear stocks like CCJ and CEG. Honestly if you dive into what it actually takes to run a data center you can find a lot of hidden gems. Though keep in a mind a lot of winners have already gone up a LOT, but the ones I bought into were HPS, VRT, MOD

GermanElectric1992

You should also check out [HPS-A.TO](http://HPS-A.TO) (hammond power solutions). Let's see if it holds the 105 price.

PIMP420757

Yeah it's not that simple I suppose. But I've been growing since 1996. I have 1000 HPS light, CO2 injection, all hydroponics/automated system, carbon filters there is zero smell of anything. I have 2 kids and they have no clue. I just harvested 22 oz from 3 plants, but I will say I'm pretty fucking good at it but again I've been doing it for a long ass time. There are 3 grow stores within 5 miles of my house, lots of people growing here in VA successfully and completely removed from the black market.

nefarious_indeed

Let’s say you grow 5 marijuana plants in a 4x4 foot grow tent using a 600 watt HPS lamp. This will run the price tag to about $2000 per year with a yield of a single pound. That works out to about $100 per plant if you are harvesting 4 times a year. The tools needed to get a grow of that size started include timers, grow lights, filters, and exhaust fans and are typically quite pricey. You could easily spend a few hundred dollars on those alone. On top of that, you’d need pots, soil, a watering can, and other gear to make the experience turn out well

I love this stock. Its a less obvious (oversold) AI play. Giant tech companies have been openly talking about building their own nuclear plants just to power the amount of data centers they plan on having in the future. Microsoft says they are spending $100 Billion on data centers. Don't even get me started on the limitations we are facing with silicon chips. Everything is aligning for massive increase in data center power usage. Dry transformer demand is going to continue very strong for a long time. I am like 4x on my initial investment with HPS and I am holding for the long term.

creemeeseason

I'll go a few orders off the front lines. SCCO- copper miner. More demand for copper wiring will really strain copper supplies and benefit the miners. Natural gas/nuclear- were already seeing increasing demand for electricity to run data centers. This will only increase. HPS-A.TO- they build transformers which are flying off the shelves for data centers. IESC- does electrical work, again, data centers. MEDP- they do medical testing, and drug development will get a big boon from AI. They've all ran pretty hard, so that might be a sign the market has realized these effects already though.

R0n1nR3dF0x

Hammond Power Solutions, HPS.a, is a dry-type transformer company that saw a 14% share rise after Q24 record earnings. Might worth to take a look if you're bullish on electrification due to EV and AI databases. Thanks to hiddenscout who brought this company to my attention a few weeks ago on this sub. Have a great day.

HPS is my best performer so far. Been buy small amount ever singe 2022 as well. Its not up to about 5% of my portfolio. I was to grow it to 10% of my portfolio. The AI surge is driving transformer demend, but the end of silicon chip advancements it going to increase power demand substantually, in every say data centers.

Nekrosis13

HPS.A trades on Canadian exchanges as normal. Have been building a position since mid-2022, cost basis is around $60, current price is rangijg between $115-119, has never dipped more than $2 in a week, been DCA small amounts weekly. My 2nd best performer behind ELF

creemeeseason

I own Hammond power (HPS.A.TO, HMDPF). They make transformers. One of the big applications of transformers is power supply to data centers. The stock has performed accordingly.

iloveIcedCoffeeee

Can anybody explain why Hammond power solutions (HPS.A) is doing so well? I don't understand the industry and can't find much info on it.

creemeeseason

I haven't looked at either yet. I'm fairly well positioned on infrastructure with HPS-A, SCCO, EXP, and USLM. Hopefully I can get to research next week though.

HPS-A.TO (Hammond power) continues it's absolute tear. I'd dear say it's finally not cheap.

Atreyan

I've got 80% of my account wrapped up in 2/25 470 puts, here's my plan. I'm going to let the puts likely expire worthless. I'm going to take the money I have left and buy a 1000w HPS, some liquid plant food, some type of hybrid Blueberry skunk, 30kwh worth of solar panels, some diy server rack batteries, and some Japanese maple seeds. I'll make a stealth grow setup that will get sunlight in the daytime and the 1000w at night to force the weed and the maple to stay in the vegetative grow phase. I'll sell the Japanese maple at 12 inches for $70 a pop under the table, because fuck taxes and business licenses, and I'll smoke all the weed, saving me thousands per pound per year. I'll distill the plant cuttings and trash into ethanol and methanol. I'll burn the methanol for heat and use the ethanol in an ethanol generator. In one year I'll have 50~100k, I'll buy some cheap land with access to fiber internet and slowly build a hydroponic farm that's completely automated and try my best to live off of it. Who knows, buying those puts may have been the best thing that's ever happened to me.

HMDPF? That’s the only one on Fidelity, but yahoo brings up HPS-A.TO as well

I don't have much access to microcap Canadian companies since I'm not in Canada. I have had luck with HPS-A.TO (Hammond power). That's been phenomenal.

Canada set to announce a mandate that all new cars be EVe by 2035. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-12-17/canada-to-announce-2035-all-ev-sales-mandate-reports-say Another boost for Hammond power (HMDPF, HPS-A.TO) as they have a transformer in every Tesla charger installed in Canada.

creemeeseason

Hammond power (HPS-A.TO, HMDPF). They're small Canadian maker of transformers. Why is it an EV related name, you may ask? One of their transformers is in every Tesla charger in Canada. They have a few other growth avenues too, but it's seriously cheap for the growth it's putting up, even after it's run-up.

ksommers121

Hammond power HPS. I'm up 500$ (newish investor)

creemeeseason

I guess it depends on where interest rates go. There will certainly be an overreaction in the sector. However, most of those businesses are untested in a nonzero rate environment. I'm sure there's some deals out there, I'm just completely unsure who. That's why I stock with copper plays, of general electrical plays (HPS-A.TO, IESC, etc).

MissDiem

Is HPS.TO getting stretched here, up 50% in like a month?

creemeeseason

A few I own: HWKN- Hawkins. They're a chemical company who specializes in water treatment chemicals. This is a fragmented industry with lots of small players. They are slowly acquiring the small players, which allows them to gain economy of scale, more cash flows, and more acquisitions. UFPT- UFP technologies They make packaging, primarily for medical devices. Every medical device needs to be packaged and sent. Nice little niche industry with good tailwinds. HPS-A.TO, HMDPF - Hammond power They make transistors, which has tons of tailwinds from the increased needs of electrification and charging. Their big win lately is that a Hammond transistor is in every Tesla charger installed in Canada. USLM- US lime and minerals Just a solid little company that owns limestone quarries and sells limestone. Good tailwinds from building booms. It won't blow the doors off anyone, but has shown the ability to generate steady growth for years.

Hammond power (HMDPF, HPS-A.TO) earnings Record sales of $179 million in the quarter, a 20.5% increase versus 2022. Year-to-date sales of $523 million, a 26.3% increase versus 2022.

creemeeseason

Hammond power (HPS-A.TO/HMDPF) is definitely my new favorite play on EVs. I'm not a huge fan of owning car makers or charging companies (those are rough businesses). Hammond makes transformers and have their transformers in every Tesla charger installed in Canada. They're opening a new manufacturing facility in Mexico to accommodate demand.

creemeeseason

Sold out of AGM for a better opportunity... Hammond power (HMDPF/HPS-A.TO). Great little company that makes transistors. Notably, they have a transistor in every Tesla charger installed in Canada.

creemeeseason

u/_hiddenscout Not sure if you buy foreign companies, but I found a Canadian company right.up your ally.... Hammond power. (HPS-A.TO, HMDPF) They're the largest maker of electric transformers in North America. Transformers are a huge ingredient in upgrading electric infrastructure, and we're going to need a lot of them to meet demand. They also make transformers for EV charging stations, so as those get built, Hammond is a picks and shovels play.

Yes. 30-40% loss in HK 1069. I think the last buy price was 2.12. Now it is locked up at 1.40 Can not get out of it because of this Acquisition. The name of this group is Market Portfolio Strategy Group . Led by Scott Crocombe at HPS . It was a stolen identity

Dean-dnj1626

Hello yes I was In This group. I followed in June for a bit the trade we’re doing well. I put in a small amount for about 4 trades In July and made good returns. I went in with a stupid amount into 1069 . It was going up and exciting to watch for a few days and then it froze. I called HPS and asked to speed with Scott and then was told by his secretary that if this is in regards to a What’s app group, sorry but you are in a false group and that is not Scott. I could have died at that point. Honestly felt like such a fool and the amount I put in is life changing. I did talk to Fidelity and they took it to their fraud department. Not much they can do but help protect others in the future. They did tell me that what they can see it a real lager company and the sell should happen. HK is different and they could not give me a time for the sell to be complete. They thought they had enough investors and the group probably could not support a pump and dump. But what is this scam??? Maybe we can join and share what we know hoping to find some solid avenue to resolve the best we can.

Lmao I ran your query in ChatGPT and the answer is pretty good: >To maximize the dollar value per square foot in a cannabis grow room, you should consider the following factors: >Space utilization: Choose a grow room setup that utilizes the floor space effectively. This can be done using Vertical Growing techniques or using grow tents stacked on top of one another. >Lighting: Maximize light intensity and coverage by using high-output LED grow lights or HPS lights, and placing them as close to the plants as possible while avoiding light burn. >Climate Control: Maintain optimal growing conditions by installing a climate control system that manages temperature, humidity, and air flow. >Nutrient Management: Use high-quality nutrient solutions and a nutrient management system to ensure consistent and optimal plant growth. >Pest and Disease Management: Implement an integrated pest management (IPM) program to prevent and manage pests and diseases. >Harvest Management: Optimize harvest timing and yield by tracking plant growth and monitoring trichome development. >Inventory Management: Keep track of inventory and sales to determine which strains are most profitable and adjust growing strategies accordingly. >By following these guidelines, you can maximize the effective use of the floor space in your cannabis grow room and generate the largest dollar value per square foot.

First, JAAA is not exclusively AAA rated bonds, as one would immediately assume, from its name, it is a composite of CLOs (same as the CDOsthat crashed the market in 2008, just with a different name) A Collateralized Loan Obligation (CLO) is a composite of loans bundled into a new product. What loans? All kinds, but the two types that have my attention are car loans and high risk corporate loans. Car prices have gone insane and people are not making payments, as well as the coming wipe out of risky businesses that dont earn money, the zombie companies that have stayed alive through risky debt. A lot of high risk loans have variable rate interest, and a lot of companies that have high risk loans couldnt afford the payments when interest was low. I think it is a big problem. \------------------------------------------------ Here is what Janus says is in the fund: "High-Quality Asset Class A robust asset class during uncertain times, AAA-rated CLOs have endured through the Global Financial Crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic, eliciting growth in the CLO market. Risk Management AAA-rated CLOs may help diversify a traditional fixed income portfolio, while exhibiting low volatility and low downgrade risk. Efficient ETF Structure Provides exposure to AAA-rated CLO markets historically available only to institutional investors with the lower cost, transparency, and liquidity characteristics of the ETF structure." \---------------------------------------------------- top holding at 4.11% OHA Credit Funding 3 LTD "Asset Credit Quality (Negative): The average credit quality of the indicative portfolio is ‘B’/‘B–’, which is in line with that of recent CLOs. Issuers rated in the ‘B’ rating category denote a highly speculative credit quality. However, the A-1 and A-2 notes benefit from credit enhancement of 37.5% and 36.5%, respectively, and standard U.S. CLO structural features."

Some participants use a spread cut-off. For example, any loan with a spread of at least LIBOR+125, or maybe LIBOR+150, would qualify as “leveraged.” Others use rating criteria: any loan rated BB+ or lower would qualify.

Redbox RDBX RDBXW released more information about the warrant agreement with HPS Investment Partners, LLC announced last Friday, [makes a bit more sense now](https://www.reddit.com/r/SPACs/comments/u427ky/announcements_x_daily_discussion_for_friday_april/i4vxzuv/?context=3). "In connection with the Sixth Amendment, the Company entered into a warrant agreement (the “Warrant Agreement”) and issued to the HPS Lenders (as defined in the Credit Agreement) warrants, with an exercise price of $0.0001 per share (the “Warrants”) to purchase 11,416,700 shares of Class A common stock of the Company (“Common Stock”). **Each Warrant will become exercisable in the event certain milestones are not met under the Amended Credit Agreement.** " So they didn't issue the warrants in exchange for the loan, the warrants are a penalty that Redbox will pay if they don't meet the conditions of the loan. In the same [8-K report](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/0001820201/000110465922047388/tm2213076d1_8k.htm), Redbox announces a major restructuring of the board of directors. Seven resigned, three new ones brought on, board reduced from nine to five members.

imunfair

Sounds like HPS gets shares *and* one or more board seats in return for extending more credit to keep them afloat, they're probably in pretty bad shape after using up the last of their previous credit line so the lender wants some control on direction for more money, and a stake if the company can be saved.

SPAC_Time

In exchange for an additional $50 million on their credit line - ***not*** ***$50 million in cash***, but *just more credit* \- it sounds like they will give "HPS and certain affiliates" about 9 million shares. Which sounds wrong, so maybe they made some mistake in that 8-K, or I am misreading it.. Redbox also filed their [10-K annual report](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/0001820201/000155837022005521/rdbx-20211231x10k.htm) today, without releasing any earnings press release or conference call. Net loss for 2021 was $141 million. From the 10-K: "The beneficial ownership of Redbox common stock is based on 12,618,516 shares of Class A common stock and 32,770,000 shares of Class B common stock issued and outstanding as of February 28, 2022". Based on that, if the 8-K is correct, RDBX might be issuing about 9 million warrants to HPS and certain affiliates, which would exercise into 9 million common shares for $900. Redbox laid off 150 workers [in March](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1820201/000110465922041795/tm2211292d1_8k.htm) due to "the ongoing adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic". So Redbox is having some money problems, but still seems way off that they might have to essentially give HPS 9 million shares to get their credit limit raised.

SPAC_Time

***Must*** be reading this wrong. It sure sounds like Redbox will issue to HPS Investment Partners, LLC warrants to purchase common stock equal to almost 20% of the outstanding shares, for $0.0001 per share, in exchange for adding $50 million to their credit line. "[On April 15, 2022](https://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/1820201/000110465922046518/tm2212840d1_8k.htm) certain subsidiaries of **Redbox Entertainment Inc**., a Delaware corporation (the “Company” or “Redbox”) **entered into the Sixth Amendment** (as defined below) **to that certain Credit Agreement, dated October 20, 2017, with HPS Investment Partners, LLC**, a Delaware limited liability company (“HPS”). **Pursuant to the Sixth Amendment, an additional $50,000,000 in financing under the Credit Agreement will be made available to the Company.** " "**As a further condition to the effectiveness of the Sixth Amendment** (as defined below), **the Company has agreed to issue HPS and certain affiliates warrants with an exercise price of $0.0001 per share** (the “Warrants”) **to purchase such number of shares of Class A common stock of the Company** (“Common Stock”) ***not to exceed 19.9% of either*** (i) **the total number of the Company’s outstanding Equity Interests** (as defined in the Warrant Agreement) **on the date hereof or** (ii) **the total voting power of the outstanding Company’s Equity Interests on the date hereof without approval of the Company’s stockholders.** " "In connection with the execution of the Sixth Amendment, the Company agreed to implement certain changes to the composition and size of the board of directors." "The foregoing descriptions of the Sixth Amendment, Voting and Support Agreement, Warrant Agreement and related agreements discussed herein do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of each agreement, **copies of which will be subsequently filed with the Company’s next quarterly report.** "

Why are you trading cfd's? I think if cfd's as the most gambling version of investment possible. You might as well go to vegas and just bet 5% of your portfolio on blackjack. I recommend switch to cef's like AWF or DSL or PCI or JPS or HPS or FPF. Ideally just buy $x equal amount of each and turn on dividend reinvestment *(drip) then just add a few bucks to whichever one is trading below nav every week or every month. As young as you are you will see 30 years of compounded growth. When you get to 65yo even if you only have $100k in those you can turn off drip and get an extra cash dividend every month for $700 to $800 every month without taking money away from your nest egg. Most people want to wait till they retire to buy into dividend stocks but if you buy them through out your working years you control always getting them below NAV and that can pay huge returns down the road. 35 years of drip works like this. If you started with $5000 tomorrow. Then every month for the next 35 years you buy $10 worth of whichever fund is trading the furthest below NAV. ....in 35 years you own $102,000 worth of CEFs and make $750 per month in dividends. And that money is reliable income through out your retirement years.

Usually they put numbers on dispensary websites, or I have seen many that do. Usually they put percentages of Delta-9 and CBD, although I've seen some listing THC A and THC V in addition. Seeds from the same strain will produce different levels of different cannabinoids depending on flowering conditions, The differences between greenhouse, HPS, and LED can all vary widely.

Basically IMO very few of them really understand what they’re doing. They can grow weed, but very few actually understand the science behind it. Then combine that with the support industries that are just trying to milk that cash cow without regard for the quality of their product and it’s not a pretty picture. What you have to remember is that weed was pretty much illegal everywhere until not too long ago. The underground growers know how to grow it, but a lot of times they have trouble scaling up to full scale licensed producer production levels. The suits bankrolling these projects have the money to run this, but don’t understand how to grow optimally. It’s not that these companies aren’t making money, they are (for the most part), it’s just that they could be doing so much better and having seen the clusterfuck that a lot of these companies are from an insiders perspective makes me very hesitant to put money in any of them. Example: did you know you can’t put a plastic folding table under an HPS or CMH lighting fixture? Well, you can, but if a bulb explodes due to poor quality fixture, lamp, or dumbassery, it lights the table on fire which then lights your whole facility on fire. I’ve seen the videos of it happening. And still many growers out there, even some large ones, put plants on plastic folding tables. This is becoming less of an issue with the current switch to LED lighting, but still illustrates my point.

Does Sundial grow shit weed in greenhouses and try to pass it off as indoor or do they grow top shelf weed under HPS truly inside? There is NO substitutes for HPS lights and controlled environment for growing hard as rock dense sticky buds. No LED or Sunlight (that I have seen) can match 1000W HPS bulbs and air conditioning.

Thanks for your response. A couple I am watching are EOD, VTA, and HPS. I thought versus open-end stocks they might have lower management fees? Just trying to understand differences and costs vs potential benefits.

Why the f\*ck is weed even remotely considered a tech stock? NASDAQ Tech 100 pumps, weed pumps. It dumps, weed dumps. Etc. I'm pretty sure it's a plant, you plug it into some dirt, add water and viola. It kinda grows itself. It's called weed for a f\*cking reason. That moron down the road with a garage and a dozen HPS bulbs grows the best sh\*t in town, and he failed English.

Yeah I've been REALLY diving into finance the past couple months since this all started. Like FOR REAL. Taking classes and everything. You wouldn't believe how much like a game this all really is. And it's not THAT much more complicated than some MMO's I've played. And I've been trained by MMO's to have fun watching meaningless numbers go up and down, and doing complicated math to figure out how to make the numbers go as high as I can - any investor like Jim Cramer who says investing should be boring has never met a min/maxer. You think I'm not fucking ECSTATIC at .2% consistent increase in returns from an optimized algorithm? Bitch I have spent over 100 hours trying to get high-level equipment and master my rotations for a smaller increase in DPS/HPS than that, *every single major update, on multiple characters,* and that was *costing* me money - it's all the more exciting when it's *making* me money. "Boring" my ass. Maybe grinding at math for hours on end for tiny returns isn't fun to them, but it's my bread and butter, I just didn't realize until now it could be fun without the attacks and rotations and enemies to kill. When you're grinding for real money, it's actually even *more* fun. Now that this generation has been introduced to the market in a way that was actually entertaining and engaged us enough to get us to learn, the boomers are in full お前はもう死んでいる territory - they've already lost the markets, they just don't know it yet. Yeah, we may lose this round. (Not saying we will, GME to the moon, but we may.) But most of us have only been doing this for two months. We'll get better. And we'll start winning. They have no idea the kind of obsessive nerds the advent of video games has created.

I agree with your conclusion but not your reasons. People generally don't grow their tomatoes so I don't see why they would grow there weed. I've grown weed both indoors and out in a temperate northern hemisphere climate. Outdoors is risky with all kinds of pests and mold concerns. Indoors requires space and a good setup to minimise heat and light fucking with your day to day business if you go HPS (and you gotta be willing to pay for the electric), LEDs are the future but still $$$ for good ones. Is delta 8 as good as weed though? Smoking weed (especially the plant) ain't just a THC high, all kinds of cannabinoids and then the benzene high as well. My main issue with weed stocks is that afaik none of them actually penetrate the US market. I feel home growing will see an uptick for a few years so I'm not denying investing in companies that make grow lights, etc would be a good play but I'd be more interested in which companies would farming hemp (so many uses) and cannabis on an industrial scale south of the border for cheap labour. Not sure abou the edibles market, I feel companies like Kraft and Hershey's would quickly dominate any burgeoning edible companies if weed became socially acceptable but would that add much of a bottom line to those already huge companies? Sorry, turned into a bit of a DD there.
