B

Bear(ish)

Fancy Way to Say: Negative A bear, or one who is bearish, has a negative outlook. So, the bear expects prices to decline. Thus, a bear market is one marked by falling prices, namely lower highs and lower lows.

Beta

Fancy Way to Say: Risk Beta is one measure of risk. It measures the volatility of a given security relative to the overall market, usually the S&P 500. A beta above 1 is more volatile than the overall market, while a beta below 1 is less volatile.

Bid

Fancy Way to Say: Buy A quote is made up of a bid price and an ask, or offer price. A bid is a price at which a buyer is willing to buy a security.

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.
