“I just wanted to congratulate you on the wonderful profile in the Financial Post. You and your team of people are most deserving of it. I am proud and honoured to have been associated with you and your philosophy for so many years. As you have said time and time again, “Stick with the plan and the plan will perform.” It has definitely proven to be true. Patience has paid off.

As I get older, I try to tell those younger and with less practical experience than myself, “Don’t play the market on your own. Stick to your business and let the people that study and invest in the market 24/7 work your money for you. They are the pros and no matter how hard you work at it, it’s not your 9–5 job.”

Once again, congratulations and continued success.”
