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.

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 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.

Billy Kawasaki’s Insights - Billy’s most-liked answers from 5i Research. Investors responded positively to news that avoids a proxy fight for Richardson, which they will fully take over. They are expected to buy back $40M which will result in greater per share earnings leverage. Unlock Premium - Try 5i Free

Preferred B. Recently reported and had a reasonable set of numbers. What caught the public’s attention was the pre-release that Canaccord (CF-T) put out last week, where they had such an exceptional Q1 that they pre-released their numbers and the share price responded accordingly. GMP’s quarter was an OK one, but certainly not like Canaccord’s. However, it shows the potential of both businesses. GMP has really positioned themselves to be a strong leveraged play on the oil/gas and mining sectors. They also have an attractive asset management business that got a lot of focus last summer and fall, with the Richardson operation. A very attractive takeover candidate. He would want to see more evidence of recovery in the mining and oil/gas sectors and to start to see some of their investments come to fruition.
