Spanish term or phrase: dar vuelta las posiciones
From an e-mail discussion about investments:

Con el dow positivo en el año, nuestras inversiones están negativas,
creo que lo mejor va a ser recuperar lo perdido y dar vuelta las posiciones para no volver a invertir.

exit the positions
Explanation:
Alternative: sell out the positions.
The idea is to wait for a bounce and then get out of the investments being discussed.
"... it will be best to recover our losses and exit the positions, and not reinvest [(at least in the medium term)]".
Alternative: "... the best plan is to recover our losses, exit the positions, and not reinvest [(at least in the medium term)]".
(There is nothing extraordinary about this language, in the Spanish.)

  -> Your are off track Sir!Its indeed a financial term. turn around simply means a change in a security?s price trend while turn around management deals with corporate renewal by using analysis and planning to rescue,revamp,save troubled/insolvent companies.
