Interesting thought on definition of investor. I was actually one of the investors that sold last week. I like how people start some comments with, "I'm long" then go into a critical question or comment on why something is or is not happening, like they are trying to prove being bullish. Or someone selling in what appears to be an inappropriate time must be shorting or day-trading.
Apparently someone who is "long" or an "investor" buys and never sells their shares.

I've bought and sold SHMP about dozen times over the past 3.5 years, and currently sitting at 610% profit. I sold 100K shares before end of year for little extra cash, and off-set taxes a little with my loss. I still have plenty of shares and unless something drastic happens, I plan to continue buying and selling for many years. Am I an investor? Am I long?

Another example; I bought few shares of DIS over 30 years ago. Since then I've bought and sold hundred times, and DIS is still in my portfolio. I no longer have those original shares but I would say I'm both an investor and long with DIS. LOL
