Lou Schizas


I had the honour of working alongside and becoming friends with the great Lou Schizas over the past 3 years. Lou's last day at Business News Network was today. He worked at BNN, formerly Report on Business Television as an equities analyst, since the station's launch in 1999. He was perhaps the station's best known face and on-air personality. Originally from New York city, Lou is a tough as nails, no nonsense, "here's what I think kid", razzle dazzle, blunt, bold, force of nature. Lou is moving on to radio and continuing his teaching at Sheridan College where he's a finance prof. And what a teacher. I learned so much from Lou. His passion, character, intelligence and wit are unmatched. Lou coined the term "Happy Capitalism" and he truly believes capitalism leads to happiness. Lou I salute you and wish you the best for the future.
