Q: Atco sent a message to shareholders of Class I and Class II shares today. There will be a special meeting in December to vote on Class II shares becoming Class I shares, for various reasons --- one of them being that the existing Class II shares are not very liquid (low trading volume).

Would this change to the share structure affect Class I shareholders in any significant way going forward?

And, please confirm that only the Class II shareholders are entitled to vote at the special meeting.

Thank you and have a great day.

Q: Good morning ... Still on 2 week evaluation. I have been reviewing member questions and answers. DSG is a recommended stock. Someone asked you to rate them and whether or not to buy them. DSG was a 4, which to the member was not a strong buy. Yet in other member questions, you recommend DSG quite strongly. Why would DSG not be a buy since it is on a downturn? Thank you. This does seem like a credible website.

Q: Hi again,
Just submitted a question about MDA that wasn't well proofread and below is the question as it should have been - I hope you can substitute the corrected version before publishing. Thanks!

Hi 5i,
What are your thoughts on the earnings report issued this morning? To me it looked good, but for a dearth of free cash - is that observation correct and, if so, is it a concern?
Also:
After the last big price drop based on the Globalstar rumour, MDA management wrote:

"MDA Space is monitoring fluctuations in our share price that appear to be the result of unconfirmed and speculative media reports related to mergers and acquisitions in our customer base. As a matter of policy, MDA Space does not comment on rumours or speculation. MDA Space management will provide a full update on its business outlook as part of our next regularly scheduled earnings release on November 14, 2025."

I was looking forward to reading MDA's response to potential loss of contracts this morning, but it's "full business outlook" didn't address the issue at all - although the issue certainly hasn't gone away. Again, cause for concern?
Thanks,
Peter

Q: Ok, let's try this again.

For the past 2+ years I've been waiting for the RBC US Midcap Fund to pop.

So a "gut" response to my first question: given the recent sell off in the markets, do you see small/midcaps popping or continuing to languish in the shadows of the AI trade? (Although it's early, in terms of seasonality the fund is doing nothing).

Second question: I'm thinking of taking all or half of this position (it's a full position for me), and picking up ATRL based on the nuclear energy/SMR theme. ATRL is up significantly in the past year. Is it fully priced at this point or does it have a lot more to grow in the next five years? Considering the the nuclear/SMR theme, would it be your top pick or do you have other companies (Canada or US) that you favour more?

Thanks in advance,
Pete, Calgary
