Dear teachers,


"They usually invest in long and short distressed securities."

Does "long and short" in the above sentence mean just a term, length of time?
Or, does it have another meaning?

Please help me.
With Regards.

"They usually invest in long-term and short-term distressed securities."

It is most likely that '-term' was dropped by accident.
