Position Building

Position Building - Position building is a process in which an investor is working on a long position when buying shares. If he buys large portions, he is building a long position. When he sells he wants to maintain a short position. The interest of an investor is measured by this position building; people use the term gauging for it. Gauging is also used in knitting; in the investment industry it is used typically when analysts analyze the interest of an investor in a company, by watching the position that he builds on the market for a certain amount of shares.
