| Comment | 2.960 | Paul VanEeden | Merchant banking. He’s been liquidating his position over the last few months as they are moving into the real estate sector, which has reduced their earnings. Superbly managed. If you want 10% earnings with a 3% dividend, it's a good stock. | 2007-07-06 | |
| BUY | 3.210 | Paul VanEeden | Has recently sold because he thinks the rate of growth will come down. They've started focusing on real-estate, and he thinks that next year they will start having to pay taxes. Rising interest rates is good for Quest.
Is a very good stock for RRSP's and you want something solid. | 2007-05-31 | |

| TOP PICK | 3.260 | Paul VanEeden | (A Top Pick Aug 16/06. Up 9.8%.) Personal shareholders in their company. Bridge loan lending they developed in the resource sector and are now using in real estate too. Expecting them to be bought out. Trades at about 11 X earnings. | 2007-01-16 | |
| TOP PICK | 2.820 | Paul VanEeden | (A Top Pick Aug 26/05. Up 28.8%.) They make short-term, fully collateralised loans on real estate. Very cheap. | 2006-10-11 | |
| WATCH | 2.840 | Peter Grandich | Quest Capital is a merchant banker involved in the resource and real estate sectors. It is well managed and gross earnings look good. It is worth looking at and is attractive for risk takers. | 2006-09-22 | |
| Comment | 3.050 | Hugh Cleland, CFA | This is a group of individuals, financiers and investors that have proven to be able to make a lot of money. If you believe in a longer term resource cycle it could be good. Doesn't know the company that well. | 2006-09-07 | |
| TOP PICK | 2.970 | Paul VanEeden | (A Top Pick Aug 26/05. Up 34.3%.) The market is in a very dangerous stage and the stock gives safety. This is a merchant bank that has been making very good returns on its capital. | 2006-08-16 | |
| BUY | 2.950 | Paul VanEeden | One of his favourite companies. Started off as a merchant bank but have branched out into the real estate business. During a phenomenal job. | 2006-05-30 | |
| TOP PICK | 3.000 | Peter Grandich | Merchant banker providing financial services. Specialises in mortgages and bridge loan real estate business, mostly to manufacturers, mining and oil/gas. Slow and steady. Conservative. | 2006-05-12 | |
| TOP PICK | 2.600 | Peter Grandich | This will be a slow mover. A leading merchant banker with strong management and a heavy tilt towards natural resources.

| BUY | 2.310 | Peter Grandich | Likes very much. A merchant banker. Raised a lot of money lately, Slow and steady and will work its way higher. | 2005-09-30 | |
| TOP PICK | 2.150 | Paul VanEeden | A merchant banking business. You buy and you put it away and dont worry about it. The price is it's only weak spot. Very long term stock, I'm not going to sell. | 2005-08-26 | |
| BUY | 2.290 | Peter Grandich | A very interesting story. They have put together a merchant bank operation that is 2nd to none. Looks like they have the right formula to make money even in a troubling environment. | 2005-07-11 | |
| STRONG BUY | 2.080 | Paul VanEeden | Basically it is a lender that makes short term loans at relatively high interest rates to mis-identified borrowers. Trades at 14/15 X earnings. You should see double digit growth in earnings. A superb company. Well managed. | 2005-06-27 | |
| TOP PICK | 2.100 | Peter Grandich | A company that specializes in providing bridge loans and equity investments in the mining industry, oil/gas plus real estate sector. The change in banking is going to become acute when the bubble bursts in real estate and mortgages start to blow up. Lenders will want reals assets behind them and this is what this company does. It will grow slowly, but steadily. | 2005-06-24 | |
| TOP PICK | 2.020 | Rick Rule | (A Top Pick Mar 8/05. Up 2.5%.) Has done a spectacular job. Trailing earnings for last year were $0.16. Earned $0.04 for the quarter. Offers the best juxtaposition of risk/reward in the Canadian speculative sector. Don't chase the stock. $2.05/2.10 is OK. Expects to own this until the current management team sells it. | 2005-06-02 | |
| BUY | 1.870 | Paul VanEeden | Run by very astute business men. What sets them apart from banks is that they have the ability to make very quick decisions and fund deals very rapidly. All their loans they make are fully collateralized. Has a P/E of only 9. | 2005-04-29 | |
