ability of an investor to stay with (not sell) an investment that has fallen in value. For example, a commodity trader with staying power is able to meet margin calls as the commodities futures contracts he has bought fall in price. In real estate, an investor with staying power is able to meet mortgage and maintenance payments on his properties and is therefore not forced to sell as occupancy rates rise or fall or as the properties become temporarily difficult to sell. A slang term for staying power is deep pockets.
