When we launched our “Super 10” Special-Situation Portfolio last fall, we did it for a reason: Though we’re long-term Wealth Builders, we saw a chance to bring you some short-term wins — without descending into high-risk trading.

But even we didn’t realize how quick some of those wins would come or how active the other portfolio companies would be.

We chose well: One “Super 10” company just completed a spinoff; another is now looking at a three-way breakup and could also take one of its “hidden-jewel” assets public somewhere down the line.
