We've had a few calls and emails lately asking how Tom's doing, so we felt it was a good time to provide a brief update.

Tom is recovering well and on-track from his surgery and expects to be back in the office in the second half of October. He's dusted off a few of his favorite books on investing, and hasn't missed a beat on his bi-weekly Globe and Mail column.

He appreciates everyone's support and well wishes and is looking forward to getting back to the helm next month.
