Everlasting RS provides recommendations for buying stock in publicly traded companies. Everlasting RS recommends a collection of stocks, and the Motley Fool will purchase those stocks with the intent of holding for five years. Special circumstances, like an acquisition or delisting, may require the sale of a position before 5 years have passed. Everlasting RS has made 2 re-investments of $100,000 in the portfolio, and will make a third, and final, investment of $150,000. Everlasting RS may send occasional guidance, updates, or special reports about those or other stocks, but will not include ongoing coverage or additional recommendations.

From time to time, we may change the features, offerings and premium services included in your Everlasting: Rising Stars membership but we will provide you with advance notice of any material changes.
