Just saw Monday’s comment about Ron/BC. Very sad to hear the news. Like others will miss Ron’s insights on the market and life in general. If you havent, please consider leaving a note on the obituary. I am sure his family would be happy to hear that he had a lot friends and fans here too! Condolences to the family and thank you TTM team for informing us and acknowledging him.
I will always remember Ron/BC’s notes to me about not chasing yield and dividend darlings, not being married to a trade. Everytime I see Crescent Point Energy chart I will remember his ‘former belle of the ball’ comment that I used to get a kick out of.

Oh what sad news to lose RON/BC. He will be missed by everyone. He was an excellent foil of caution to my at times extreme bullishness. Whenever you lose someone the message needs to be to look after your relationships with family and friends, enjoy the time you have and look after your health.
