Our ‘Investments’ portfolio includes our initial set of buy recommendations, while our ‘Equity Trades’ portfolio includes both long and short recommendations based on short term pricing opportunities.  As their names suggest, recommendations from our Investments portfolio are longer term in nature (i.e., a year or more), while Equity Trades are shorter in term and can be accomplished with call or put options if you wish to magnify the potential result and are comfortable taking on a higher level of risk.
