Mutually exclusive investment decisions
Investment decisions in which the acceptance of a project precludes the acceptance of one or more alternative projects.

Mutually Exclusive Investment Decision
The decision to make an investment that prevents making a different investment. Some investment decisions are mutually exclusive by nature; for example taking a long position in a stock precludes taking a short position the same stock at the same time. Others are mutually exclusive circumstantially; for example, if one only has so much money to invest and buys stocks A, B, and C, there may not be enough left over to buy stock D.
