| DON'T BUY | 7.900 | Jason Donville | Not overly bullish on any of the public investment banks right now. The whole commission structure of the market is changing and he is not as bullish on commodities going forward as some people are. | 2012-01-16 | |
| HOLD | 11.610 | John Zechner | There are smart people running this business. The only rescue have with this is that the business is contingent on a few individuals. Capital markets tend to be fairly volatile. | 2011-07-25 | |

| HOLD | 11.850 | Ben Cheng | Earnings release this morning were a little off expectations, which is symptomatic for all financial services firms. Their trading revenue was down. Their wealth management is one of their better businesses and have been growing it significantly. Expecting markets to recover. Going forward they should be a beneficiary of this recovery. | 2008-08-07 | |

| BUY | 24.030 | Patrick Kim | A very strong franchise. Primarily an institutional investment dealer. Going forward, he believes there will be more diversification and not so much reliance on energy. High beta and that it will move very much with the TSX. Would prefer at $22. | 2007-05-14 | |
| BUY | 22.960 | Norman Levine | Brokerage firm very dependent on the Canadian market. Has a major presence in the resource area, especially in mining. As long as the Canadian market and the resource sector is doing well, the stock should do well. | 2007-05-01 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | 23.650 | Veronika Hirsch | (A Top Pick Aug 29/06. Down 2.1%.) Very well managed. She has switched to Canaccord (CCI-T). | 2007-04-18 | |
| BUY | 20.740 | Chyanne Fickes | Looks pretty good right here. Likes the people who work there. They make a lot of money. Very low payout. Have a lot of cash and issue special dividends. Expect there will be a large drop off in the commodities and energy but doesn't see this happening for a while. | 2007-03-12 | |
| TOP PICK | 22.700 | Michael Smedley | A star performer. 6.5% yield. Highly, superbly organized. Will have no problems reverting to a private company or corporation. | 2007-02-22 | |
| Comment | 20.610 | Andrew Guy, CFA | Doesn't see any risk of distribution cuts unless we get into a severe bear market. Very efficient and have grown their business very well. Strong management team. Good balance sheet. | 2007-02-08 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | 20.520 | Veronika Hirsch | (A Top Pick Aug 29/06. Down 12%.) Got a $.50 special dividend in December, so collected about 10% while she waited. | 2007-02-07 | |
| TOP PICK | 23.290 | Veronika Hirsch | (A Top Pick Jun 1/06. Down 8.5%.) Mergers/takeover activity in Canada benefits them as they are usually advisers to one party or the other. Fantastically managed. | 2006-08-29 | |
| TOP PICK | 25.250 | Veronika Hirsch | (A Top Pick Feb 16/06. Up 19%.) It has a 6% yield. Continuing to grow. Last quarter’s numbers were phenomenal. | 2006-06-01 | |

| TOP PICK | 22.450 | Veronika Hirsch | 5.7% yield. It will be growing as long as the Canadian and resource economy is growing. This is a call on the continuation of the resource sector. | 2006-02-16 | |
| WEAK BUY | 17.500 | Robert Lauzon | A securities firm. A growing company that’s doing phenomenally well, but not sure it’s an appropriate trust. Be ready to trade out of it through stock market cycles. | 2005-12-08 |
