Picking the right stop loss is important. For someone like me it is one of of the hardest things to do. But it is something I need to force myself to do to minimize losses and to avoid holding positions for a long time tying in…

Elliott Fishman of Scotia Wealth reviewed his past picks as part of Feb…
