FIFO vs Average cost which would be better for long term

Are their ways to make long-term bets vs a company or industry?
Okay, so here's the idea: I know how shorting works (kinda) and puts (kinda)... BUT, I don't think they make sense for long-term. I'm looking for something on the flip-side of a buy and hold lol. Does that make sense? Like, if you expect a company to do well over …
