Preferred Bs. There are rumours that their retail division GMP Richardson will get sold. There is some speculation that the preferreds will have a “change of control provision” and should be taken out at par. He doesn’t agree with that 100%, as the literature indicates it is not necessarily a change of control, but a liquidation scenario that could trigger $25.

He likes these GMP preferreds because you get paid healthy and get paid a dividend, and maybe someday they do get taken out.
