B

Bid $ for #

Fancy Way to Say: Buy so many shares at a specified price While this may have no relevance to internet investors/traders, it is how one would communicate an order to buy to a broker and/or trader. For example, Bid $100 for 1,000 XYZ simply means buy 1,000 shares of XYZ for no more than $100.

Bull(ish)

Fancy Way to Say: Positive A bull, or one who is bullish, has a positive outlook. So, the bull expects prices to rise. Thus, a bull market is one marked by rising prices, namely higher lows and higher highs.

Burn Time

Fancy Way to Say: Time Decay The price of an option is made up of two components: intrinsic value time value. Intrinsic value is the true value of an option. In other words, it's what the option would be worth if it expired today. It is equal to zero or the amount by which the option is in the money, which ever is greater. Time value on the other hand is the amount of premium one pays to hold the option until expiration. All other things being equal, as the option draws nearer to expiration the time value of the option dwindles. Burn time is another way to talk about the effect time has on an option whose stock is range bound. Meaning, intrinsic value is not increasing to compensate for the loss of time value.

C

Call

Fancy Way to Say: Contract to buy A call is an option contract which gives the holder the right to buy at a predetermined price before a stated expiration date.

Chinese Wall

Fancy Way to Say: Separation Used to describe procedures enforced within a securities firm that separate the firm's departments to restrict access to non-public, material information, in order to avoid the illegal use of inside information. For example, information from the analysis or investment banking divisions of a firm are not shared with the trading or brokerage departments as advanced notice of material non-public information could be used to gain an unfair advantage.

Churning

Fancy Way to Say: Overtrading Excessive trading in an account can lead to commissions which will not be offset by any gains realized. Too much buying and selling, in other words a lack of selectivity, lead to excessive transaction costs.

Computerized Buy/Sell Program

Fancy Way to Say: Program Trading Large instituions have models which determine when stocks are undervalued or overvalued. This is done continually on an intraday basis. When stocks are undervalued, they are purchased. When overvalued, the are sold. This is done with a large basket of stocks, usually the S&P500. The idea of over/undervalued is based upon the difference in value between the cash index and the futures. When stocks are below fair value they are undervalued and when they are above fair value they are overvalued.

Crap.com

Fancy Way to Say: Pe Celera Corp. Nickname for PE Celera based on the following inputs: CRA comes from its ticker symbol P comes from being sh*t on so many times by the specialist that crap is quite fitting .COM comes from the genome plays being the dot coms of late 1999-early 2000

Crossed Market

Fancy Way to Say: The quote is out of whack When market conditions become rapid and frenzied there will be times when a buyer will bid higher than the current best ask of a seller will offer below the current best bid. On the Nasdaq this becomes a crossed market as the bid is greater than the ask.

D

Dead Cat Bounce

Fancy Way to Say: 'Fake' Rally When a security has declined far and fast it will inevitably stage a small rally. If the rally is of the dead cat bounce variety, it is only a breather before continuing the decline. Dead cat bounces will attract some buyers who believe the worst is over. These bottom pickers will often feel pain as the decline resumes. Think about it. Drop a dead cat from a height and it will bounce. But only so high before it turns around and goes guess where?
