Long Position

A position wherein an investor's interest in a particular series of options is as a net holder (i.e., the number of contracts bought exceeds the number of contracts sold). A long position is not necessarily a bullish position. A long PUT profits from a decline in the underlying stock price, and is therefore bearish.
