Canadian Stock Picks Weekly Review

It was a good week... and profitable.

CSF.TO triggered on February 14, 2011 at $12.30 and is now at $13.15 up 6.9% on the purchase.

STB.TO triggered on February 14, 2011 at $6.90 and is now at $6.90, basically even.   

CPG.TO was a loser... but with only 1% risked, it's almost meaningless.

So, on the week... up 5.9%.  This is going to add up quite nicely over the next few weeks... I hope you'll join me Sunday for Monday's Canadian Stock Picks of the Day.
