Shares of Arista Networks (NYSE:ANET) jumped on Friday after S&P Dow Jones Indices announced that the networking solutions provider would be added to the S&P 500 index. The stock was up about 9.1% at 11:35 a.m. EDT.
So whatArista will join the S&P 500 effective prior to the opening bell on Tuesday, August 28. The tech company is replacing GGP Inc. in the index as a result of that company's impending acquisition by Brookfield Property Partners LP.

Index funds that track the S&P 500 and attempt to match its performance will need to buy shares of Arista once it's included in the index. That could put upward pressure on the stock, at least in the near term.
In the long run, the nod from S&P Dow Jones Indices doesn't change the story for Arista investors. But it is an acknowledgement that the company has become important enough to be included in one of the most visible indices.

Top 10 High Tech Stocks To Own For 2019: Aimia Inc. (GAPFF)
Advisors' Opinion:- [By ]
The preferred shares for Aimia (OTCPK:GAPFF) offer an attractive investment return of 28%, assuming redemption, in contrast to the common shares which are trading at their fair value. We believe the market is under-pricing the preferred shares.
- [By SEEKINGALPHA.COM]
Aimia (OTCPK:GAPFF) (TSX: AIM, AIM.PR.A, AIM.PR.B, AIM.PR.C)
As some background, we are intimately familiar with Aeroplan and Air Canada (OTCQX:ACDVF) not just as investors but as extraordinarily heavy consumers. As both an Air Canada top tier elite and Aeroplan top tier member I generate well in excess of 1.5 million Aeroplan miles annually, half from flying Air Canada and its partners and the other half from spending. As consumers we were concerned with Air Canada's decision (though we expect more details to come out that will alleviate these concerns) but as investors we understand that the fundamental business model of mileage programs are incredibly attractive and that Aimia presents an incredibly rare and lucrative investment opportunity for the investor discerning enough to dig into the company.
