Our Long/Short list is comprised of the best BUY and SELL ideas from across our coverage. To go “long” means to “buy and to go “short” means to “sell” in Wall Street parlance. The list is pulled from all of the stocks, bonds, and derivatives in our coverage.
A long/short portfolio allows you to employ more leverage to generate higher returns without taking excessive risk. Normally, you will have 100% of your portfolio long stocks. With a long/short portfolio, you can use margin to go long another 50% of your portfolio and short another 50%. Your gross exposure is 200%, but the incremental 50% long and 50% short hedge each other out for net exposure of 100%. The levered part of your portfolio should be protected from market swings (beta), while you capture the difference in stock performance between your longs and shorts (alpha).
The list is short and sweet. It summarizes the company’s business model, our investment thesis, and the key risks for our best long ideas. For more information, please visit the company’s landing page or read our recent research on the stock.
Our top short ideas have high downside potential, clear catalysts, and the best risk/reward ratios. That means they have high return potential, typically in a 6-12 month time frame, with limited upside/downside risk.
We recommend portfolio weights based on our conviction in the range of outcomes. For longs, upside scenarios with a higher probability or greater magnitude (or downside scenarios with a lower probability or lesser magnitude) are how we define high conviction. For shorts, it is the opposite.
