Here you go:
10. Naked straddle - An options strategy.
9. Short squeeze - When short sellers suffer from upward stock
price movements...leading to the short sellers pushing up the price even
more by buying shares to cover their short positions.
8. Broke the buck - When a money market fund's net asset
value falls below the $1 a share floor (thus losing investors money some
the money they put in)...a very bad thing b/c investors use money market funds
for safety.
7. "I'm long." -- male investors only -
"long" means to own a position and benefit from upward price
movements...as opposed to "short".
6. Synthetic long -- all investors - creating a financial
instrument by combining other instruments...frequently seen in options. If the
prices don't align, there's an arbitrage opportunity.
5. Annaly Capital - company name...NYSE: NLY
4. In the pink - when you're in a good financial position.
3. Crack spread -- energy investors only - the difference
between crude oil prices and its end products (like gasoline) in the futures
market.
2. A cup and handle followed by a piercing pattern - Two
different technical analysis terms.
And the number one investing term that sounds dirty is...
1. Pump and dump - A shady practice where folks hype up a
company's stock (which they own) and then sell them at the height of the
frenzy. This is illegal.
