"Investing is my passion, but it's also my hobby," said David LePoidevin, lead advisor at the LePoidevin Group of Canaccord Genuity Wealth Management, and winner of the franklin templeton award for advisory team of the year (10 staff or more). "when I wake up in the morning, I check the bond market, at the end of the day I check the futures. I like to make money, and clients want to make money, so we're all in it together."
