These are three strong choices that should be enter in an equity portfolio for a long-term time-frame. These are three companies providing a diversification in a portfolio deriving from the construction, transportation and gaming industry.
ELLAKTOR�(ASE: Ellaktor:GA) This is allegedly the strongest company in the industry, with really tempting financial capabilities. ELLAKTOR's main competitor is GEK TERNA�(ASE: GEKTERNA:GA). The company, however, has better financial ratios in the industry. For example ELLAKTOR's P/BV is 0.62 where GEK TERNA's is 0.78 and the industry has 1.16. The lower the better, since the company is considered "semi - undervalued" and thus has enough margin to increase. Also, you can see below some main ratios in comparison with GEK TERNA:The first two pictures refer to GEK TERNA whereas the last two to ELLAKTOR.

What do Acasti Pharma Inc. (NASDAQ:ACST), Kandi Technologies Group Inc. (NASDAQ:KNDI), and Amarantus Bioscience Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB:AMBS) have in common? Not a lot, if you're simply looking at their business lines. Kandi Technologies Group makes electric cars, and even though Amarantus Bioscience Holdings and Acasti Pharma are both in the pharmaceutical arena, they're not too much alike. There is one common element among AMBS, ACST, and KNDI right now, however... they're three of the market's most bullish setups. Anyone looking for a new trading idea here should start with one of these three.

Advisors' Opinion:- [By John Udovich]
With those recent contract wins in mind, it should be noted that while Cray Inc has reported consistently rising revenues of $525.75M (2013), $421.06M (2012), $236.05M (2011) and $319.39M but more mixed net income of $32.22M (2013), $161.24M (2012), $14.33M (2011) and $15.06M (2010). Moreover and the last time Cray Inc reported earnings, shares fell 11.47% despite better-than-expected results that came with a more cautious 2014 guidance (see Is Big Data and Supercomputer Stock Cray Inc (CRAY) Still a Super Stock? SGI, IBM & HPQ for a lengthy look at what was specifically reported) while�back in February,�shares surged 39% after solid fourth-quarter results�along with�encouraging forward guidance were reported. In other words, the supercomputing business can be volatile and dependent on a few big sales.

Advisors' Opinion:- [By Peter Graham]
Small cap stocks Attitude Drinks Inc (OTCMKTS: ATTD), Axiologix, Inc (OTCMKTS: AXLX) and Unisource Corporation (OTCMKTS: USRC) have all been getting some attention lately in investment emails or investor alerts thanks in part to paid promotions. And while there is nothing wrong with properly disclosed paid promotions or investor relations activity, such activity can backfire on unwary investors or traders. With that in mind, here is a closer look at all three small cap stocks to help you decide whether they are truly hot or not:
Hot Forestry Companies To Watch For 2014: Golar LNG Limited(GLNG)
Golar LNG Limited, a mid-stream liquefied natural gas (LNG) company, engages in the transportation, regasification, and liquefaction and trading of LNG.

Golar LNG Limited was founded in 1946 and is headquartered in Hamilton, Bermuda.
Advisors' Opinion:- [By Oil and Gas Investments Bulletin]
In this article I want to talk about permitting - but before that, remember that the first LNG proposal that will export BC and Alberta gas, the Douglas Channel project with Golar (GLNG), is so small at 0.2 bcf/d that it doesn't need all this permitting.
- [By Eric Volkman]
Golar LNG (NASDAQ: GLNG ) isn't full of hot air when it comes to dividend pronouncements. The company has declared its latest quarterly distribution, which amounts to $0.45 per share to be paid "on or about" June 27 to shareholders of record as of June 13. That amount is a 6% improvement over the previous two disbursements of $0.425 apiece, both of which were paid simultaneously last December.
- [By Rick Munarriz]
Golar LNG (NASDAQ: GLNG ) is also a gusher. The liquefied natural gas transporter is increasing its quarterly rate by 6% to $0.45 a share.
- [By Value Investor]
In terms of valuation the company is trading at an attractive price and investors can consider this as a good investment point. GasLog Partners has the lowest EV/EBITDA and EV/Revenue compared to peers such as Golar LNG (GLNG) and Teekay LNG Partners (TGP). A low EV/EBITDA and EV/Revenue suggests undervaluation of the company and hence a good value investment.
