Hold

Categories: Trading, Investing

To snuggle. To cuddle. To do a whole lot of, well, nothing.

"Hold," in most finance parlance, refers to the high action sport of having bought a stock and then doing, more or less, nothing. Holding it. Closely.

"Hold" is also a "meh" recommendation from your friendly neighborhood stock broker, i.e., "Don't buy more; don't sell. Just hold." Yeah, we can do that.
