The Truth About Investments

The Truth About Investments

STOCK: A magical piece of paper that is worth $33.75 until
the moment you buy it. It will then be worth $8.50.

BOND: What you had with your spouse until you pawned his/her
golf clubs to invest in Amazon.com.

BROKER: The person you trust to help you make major financial
decisions. Please note the first five letters of this word spell
Broke.

BEAR: What your trade account and wallet will be when you take
a flyer on that hot stock tip your secretary gave you.

BULL: What your broker uses to explain why your mutual funds
tanked during the last quarter.

MARGIN: Where you scribble the latest quotes when you're supposed
to be listening to your manager's presentation.

SHORT POSITION: A type of trade where, in theory, a person sells
stocks he doesn't actually own. Since this also only ever works
in theory, a short position is what a person usually ends up being
in (i.e. "The rent, sir? Hahaha, well, I'm a little short this
month.").

COMMISSION: The only reliable way to wake money on the stock
market, which is why your broker charges you one.

YAK: What you do into a pail when you discover your stocks
have plunged and your broker is making a margin call.
