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.

BUY

They are expected to buy back $40M which will result in greater per share earnings leverage. Unlock Premium - Try 5i Free

There has been a lot of negativity weighing on the common shares, and conversely, Canaccord (CF-T) seems to have done a lot better over the last 1.5 years, so people have often looked at the difference between the 2. Canaccord is more heavily weighted towards cannabis stocks, which have done very well. Also made an acquisition a year ago of First Energy, which hasn’t worked for them. In terms of Preferred B shares, which he owns, it gives a decent yield, and at some point, thinks GMP and its wealth management side could be a potential interest to a 3rd party. He would rather own the Preferred B then the common shares.
