Management at the TSX Venture Exchange would probably appreciate it if Tony Simon just shut his mouth for a while.
As the co-founder of the Venture Capital Markets Association, Mr. Simon is an unlikely torchbearer for the theory that Canada’s market for junior resource stocks is broken and the Venture Exchange is part of the problem. But he has assumed that role with gusto in the past few weeks as his thoughts have reached an increasing number of ears. It is hard to imagine that anyone else is causing more headaches for the Venture Exchange these days.
Mr. Simon, for his part, thinks he is just stating the obvious.
“This is not something that’s an unknown problem,” the Vancouver-based entrepreneur said.
