• GO LONG
  
  When you go long, you buy an investment that you intend to hold for a period of time or one that you expect to increase in value so that you can sell it at a profit. Going long is the opposite of going short, or selling short, which means you sell an investment you don't own because you expect it to decline in value in the near future.
