Preferred Series B. He likes the preferreds, because there is a potential catalyst coming up where Richardson GMP is the wealth arm of it, and is owned by the Richardson family, GMP Capital and the investment advisors. There is an agreement amongst them where, after Nov 15/16, any one of the 3 parties can trigger a sale. From what he understands, all 3 parties want to sell the business. If there is a change in control, there are provisions within the Pref B shares that they get taken out at par value, which is $25. On top of that, you are getting paid 7% to wait.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Feb 19/19, Down 18%) They are morphing, selling off their energy equity business and moving into wealth management only. He still likes it and owns it. At some point it may become a take out target.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Dec 24/18, Up 23%) They had sold off their resource and energy components. They are holding only the wealth management business. He still has them on his list, but he is not sure how things will go forward. The Richardson family may not have the best interests of investors in mind. Less clarity on this one going forward.

HOLD

He owns the common stock and the preferred share. They have sold off their resource business side of their brokerage business. They are in wealth management only now. TD took a run at them a few years ago and it could be a possibility in the future. He will continue to hold it.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Aug 02/18, Down 1%) Will become a complete wealth management company. Pays a good dividend. A company in transition so there is still some things to see. Might move into insurance.

SELL

In the process of being acquired. This space has been a difficult environment for years, especially because of a tough resource environment. If the shares are trading close to what the offer is, just sell and find something else to do with your cash.

HOLD

Most of their capital market business is being acquired. He thinks there could be more to the deal. He also owns the preferred shares. He will continue to watch this and thinks a bidding war could emerge. He is happy to continue to hold it.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Apr 18/18, Down 28%) Still would buy it. Likes their special dividend at end-2018 and they have started a regular 2.5-cent dividend. Revenues were down last quarter $38.5 million, but things will improve going forward. They report soon. He likes this a lot. Their oil/gas is doing better, but not cryptos. They're getting big into cannabis. Someone could take them over, because the cannabis space is palatable, thereofre GMP is. However, some of their top people are being poached by other companies.

DON'T BUY

This is in the "why bother" pile. There are a lot of issues with this name. There is always something going on in the background. There are better opportunities.

HOLD

The preferred B of GMP It's been on a rollercoaster based on rumour of the company being bought and split up. He sees no issue holding the preferreds, but he'd avoid GMP altogether. Doesn't know if there will be a deal. You can hold the preferred, though.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jan 16/18, Down 27%) Also a Top Pick today. Last year, GMP paid a special dividend and have since reinstituted it, which is a good sign for the future.

TOP PICK

Biggest independent wealth manager in Canada. GMP is paying a dividend now. They've gone into oil, gas, cannabis and cryptos to diversity and expand. Revenues in the last quarter rose 72%. Great bottom line. (Analysts’ price target is $15.44)

TOP PICK

Richardson Securities, one of their businesses, is the largest independent money manager in Canada. Two years ago they were raising money for commodity companies and now they are doing it for oil and gas companies. Last quarter was so great they did a special dividend and re-instituted a regular one. The balance sheet is pretty good. They just sold their US operations. Once a dividend is re-instituted, it has a lot of weight with Benj. Maybe TD-T will buy them as they have considered it before.

WEAK BUY

They had a special dividend of 10 cents a share not so long ago. Crypto currency will not be so popular in the future. Their investment in the cannabis space could do well. He likes this one and where they can go. It has a chance to get to double digits but not tomorrow, and also they could get competition.

TOP PICK

A lot of these companies have been taken over. TD-T has looked at this one. They are raising money for marijuana and crypto currency stocks. They paid a special dividend last year. It has a lot of upside potential.
