Investment Q&A

Q: This stock looks like it has a best before date and it has expired. What a dog for the last year return. Holding cash and shopping at Costco gives you a better return. What will turn this company around?
Thanks Again

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: Hi,
As everyone is looking towards Wednesday and NVDA's earnings, I have considered whether to hold, sell half or sell all. In doing so, I came across Granite Shares 2x Short NVD ETF which does not appear to be a listed holding in your database. What are your thoughts going into earnings, and if you are thinking of trying to hedge against a sharp downturn, would you use such an ETF? Is there something else you would consider? Happy to hear your thoughts - always!
Thanks!

Q: I've owned FIH.U for six years for a total return of 30% . Though I like their format and know a little about who they invest in I can't help to think I may do better in one of the general India ETF's . Like XID,INDA,INDY,INQQ,EPIor NFTY ..... Could 5i give me the annualized return over five years for these ETF's including FIH.U ? Also an annualized return for the last year so I can see their recent performance under the Trump influence ? ..... Does 5i have a short list of ones that you like ? { I do know that INQQ is internet only } ...... Also could 5i give me a brief synopsis of what each invests in ? ..... Thanks for your terrific service ......

Q: Can I ask you to suggest a few mid-cap companies that could prove to be good long term investments in the solar energy sphere? My only provisos would be a solid balance sheet and hopefully a valuation that is reasonable based on current fundamentals. Appreciate your thoughts, thanks.

Q: What percentage of LMN does CSU actually own and control, and what does their ownership stake represent in terms of CSU's own market cap?

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
