Rally

  

If you're long stocks, meaning you own them, you really want a rally. (See what we did there? Yep. No extra fee for it either.) A rally happens when prices go up.

Stocks had been under pressure maybe. Some down drafts, some bears, some dismal illiquidity. But then they turned. They went up. They rallied. More demand than supply. More wealth today in your portfolio than yesterday. The sun is shining. All is right in the world.
