Hey guy, I know what the term 'long' means in the technical sense. Technically it means that you are looking for a stock to increase in value to make a profit.
There are many here who use it in a different sense to mean holding a stock longer than a few days or weeks.
It was in this context that I made the distinction, not in the technical sense.
(Realistically, I was probably making investments in markets before you were born.)
