Stock Market Terms for Trying Times

Last Updated on February 11, 2009 By Dr. Joyce Starr

Redefining the stock market with laugh ’til you cry – or stop crying – definitions.

BEAR MARKET — A 6 to 18 month period when the kids get no allowance, the wife gets no jewelry and the husband gets no new electronic toys.

BROKER — What my broker has made me.

BULL MARKET — A random market movement causing an investor to mistake himself for a financial genius.

CASH FLOW — The movement your money makes as it disappears down the toilet.

CEO –Chief Embezzlement Officer.

CFO — Corporate Fraud Officer.

FINANCIAL PLANNER — A guy whose phone has been disconnected.

INSTITUTIONAL INVESTOR — Past year investor who’s now locked up in a nuthouse.

MARKET CORRECTION — The day after you buy stocks.

P/E RATIO — The percentage of investors wetting their pants as the market keeps crashing.

PROFIT — An archaic word no longer in use. [Actually a code word for what only CFO’s, CEO’s and Brokers gain from YOUR investments, always have and always will.]

STANDARD & POOR — Your life in a nutshell.

STOCK ANALYST — Idiot who just downgraded your stock.

STOCK SPLIT — When your ex-wife and her lawyer split your assets equally between themselves.

VALUE INVESTING — The art of buying low and selling lower.

WINDOWS — What you jump out of when you’re the sucker who bought Yahoo @ $240 per share.

YAHOO — What you yell after selling it to some poor sucker for $240 per share.

To your economic survival!
