Bus/Financial - Finance (general) / short/long
English term or phrase: short/long
Good day,


I am not quite sure what long/short means here. and how to translate them financially.

Any help in clarifying is much appreciated.

Our dynamic long/short strategy that we have been running successfully since mid 2005 and which forms the basis of this portfolio has historically been long the FTSE 100, short mid caps and long small caps.

إجراء صفقات شراء على مؤشر FTSE 100، وصفقات بيع على الشركات ذات القيمة السوقية المُتوسطة، فضلاً عن إجراء صفقات شراء للشركات ذات القيمة السوقية الصغيرة.

I need more context, a sentence before or a sentence after just to determine the meaning.

جاءت أسهم النمو للشركات ذات القيمة السوقية المُتوسطة المُغالى في سعرها على رأس القائمة في الربع الأول من العام، وحينها قُمنا بإجراء صفقات بيع لتنزلق القيمة الأعمق للأسهم وانخفضت حيازاتنا من صفقات الشراء المُخصصة للدفاع عن الاستثمار انخفاضًا حادًا. كما تعرضت أسهمنا أيضًا لتقلبات حادة.

It can be better if I have more text...

وانخفضت حيازاتنا من الأسهم المُدرة للأرباح المُنتظمة انخفاضًا حادًا (تعديل).

Notes to answerer
Asker: kind of you to assist. what does short mid caps and long small caps mean ?

Asker: i can't thank you enough.

Asker: can i bother you with one more question, how do you translate "long holdings?"

Asker: we were generally short here while our deeper value and more defensive long holdings lagged markedly.

Asker: Highly valued mid cap growth stocks led the way in the first quarter and we were generally short here while our deeper value and more defensive long holdings lagged markedly. We also suffered a number of stock-specific headwinds

Asker: that's more than enough. kind of you.
