Long/Short Strategy
A strategy, used primarily by hedge funds. A Long Strategy is the buying and holding of stocks that are expected to increase in value. Short Positions are borrowing stocks you don't own and selling (shorting) it in the hope of repurchasing it at a lower price to return to the stock lender, in stocks that are expected to decrease in value.
