Q: What is your take on the safety of the dividend with GMP.PR.B? Why is it poorly rated by the agencies? GMP Capital doesn't seem to have much debt. The dividend yield and chance of a higher reset in a rising interest rate environment seems attractive.

If you don't like it, what rate reset preferred would offer a better combination of risk/return?

Q: Good Day All,

Looking at the group of people who are involved with this company, I see some qualified talent here. I am wondering if you would view this company in the same light as you do GUD, where it appears that it is only a matter of time before a significant catalyst appears.
Thanks
