$ROL could have used an ATM at high valuations in a way that benefited *all* long-term holders. Instead, they used corporate funds/new capital to cash out insiders for $2.4 billion (between 2023, 2025 sales). Great business, but deserves a hefty governance discount. IMO the board isn't working for *all* shareholders.

*WESTINGHOUSE SAID TO SEEK OVER $50 BILLION VALUATION IN US IPO $CCJ owns 49% of Westinghouse. $BEP owns the rest Nuclear has totally fallen off the radar this year. Shitco’s like OKLO and SMR flew the theme too close to the sun and rightfully tanked. Maybe Westinghouse IPO brings the nuclear / uranium trade back
