Community Giveaway: How To Build A Long-Short Portfolio From Scratch?

* This is not a sponsored article. Seedly has a long-term collaboration with Shareinvestor with regards to their investor seminars which can add value to the Seedly Personal Finance Community and readers.

The long-short strategy involves taking long positions in stocks that are expected to increase in value and short positions in stocks that are expected to decrease in value.

Simply put, buying or holding onto stocks that you foresee will increase in value, and selling stocks where you do not see any potential growth in its value.
