James TelfsergoeasyGSY.TOPAST TOP PICKJun 20, 2016

(A Top Pick June 17/15. Down 3.33%.) An alternative lender in Canada. One of those crazy, undervalued stories that the market is not giving a lot of credit to. Have been growing their loan book like crazy, and it is starting to flow through to the bottom line. They have kept net charge-offs and bad debt expenses in line, so you are seeing a lot of operating leverage coming out of the business. The biggest indicator for an alternative lender is the unemployment rate, but most of their loan book is Ontario-based.

(Market Call Minute.) Very small Junior that goes into the exploration part of your portfolio. Expects good tremendous growth over the next year.
HOLD
Spin out from Accrete Energy (GZ-T). Quite small so conflicts with his view of sticking with good liquid stocks and strong balance sheets. Great asset base. Maybe would have been the ideal model 2 years ago before trusts became taxable. Big test will be how they do under the new scenario.
