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.

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.

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.
