I think it is time for some long term picks. My current picks for long term have been held for over 6 months and it maybe time to divest some of the picks and buy some new stocks. You have to take profit periodically otherwise you may lose the gains in a market correction. I watch BNN regularly and I am a fan of the Top Picks segment. Elliott Fishman of Scotia Wealth reviewed his past picks as part of Feb…

When I initially started out –…

I define short term as a maximum holding period of one month. After one month – I have to sell regardless of the loss percentage. This limit on the holding period is to force myself to be disciplined and to…
