hold

Banking: retaining an asset in an account until the item has been collected.
For example, a hold can be put on a certain amount of funds in a checking account if a certified check has been issued for that amount.


Securities: maintaining ownership of a stock, bond, mutual fund, or other security for a long period of time. Proponents of the buy and hold strategy try to buy high-quality securities which they hope will grow in value over many years. By holding for a long time, the investor can delay capital gains taxes until the position is sold many years in the future.
Securities analysts also issue a hold recommendation if they are not enthusiastic enough about a security to recommend purchasing it, yet are not pessimistic enough to recommend selling it. However, many analysts who downgrade a stock from a buy to a hold rating are in fact saying that investors should sell the stock, since there are better opportunities to invest elsewhere.

See the Introduction, Abbreviations and Pronunciation for further details.

Any senator who objects to a particular bill can have the party leader place a “hold” on that bill. A hold suspends action and may freeze a bill for weeks or months. At the end of a session, when time is running out, such holds can kill a bill. Managers of the bill will try to negotiate with senators who have placed holds to make whatever changes they can agree upon. If they reach a compromise, the senator will notify the party leadership to lift the hold. Because the hold is an informal arrangement, the leadership can decide at any time to ignore the hold and bring the legislation to the floor. However, the bill's managers know that the senator who placed the hold might object to any unanimous consent agreements and might even launch a filibuster or other delaying tactics. Senators sometimes place reciprocal holds on each other's bills so they can offer to lift one hold in return for lifting the other.

See also Filibuster; Unanimous consent agreements

An analyst's recommendation to neither buy nor sell a security. A company with a hold recommendation generally is expected to perform with the market or at the same pace as comparable companies.

Also known as "neutral" or "market perform".

Investopedia Says:
Exact definitions vary by brokerage, but this rating is better than sell, but worse than buy. It means that if you own a security you still shouldn't sell, but you also should not buy the security if you don't own it already (or do not buy more of it if you do).
