A

ADR

Fancy Way to Say: American Depositary Receipt, a vehicle used to trade the stock of a foreign company ADRs are negotiable certificates held in a U.S. bank which represent a specific number of shares of a foreign stock. They trade on a U.S. stock exchange. ADRs make it easier for Americans to invest in foreign companies, due to the widespread availability of dollar-denominated price information, lower transaction costs, and timely dividend distributions.

Anchor

Fancy Way to Say: The Rak man is long! More of a little joke than anything, but whenever I get long a stock I know other people are trading I always shout out "the anchor is in." This let's everyone know I am in and that my powers of stopping momentum, which I can't control, will probably manifest themselves on this stock. The worst is when some of my buddies also call out the same thing on the same stock. The more anchors that are in, the more weight on the stock.

Arb

Fancy Way to Say: Arbitrageur An arb is one who profits from price differentials of the same or similar securities in different markets. This profit is considered practically risk free. The more simultaneous these transactions can be made to each other the less risk involved. There are many types of arbitrage. For example, in after hours trading WXYZ may be bid on one ECN at 100 while it is offered on another at 99. An arb, if quick to recognize the opportunity and capitalize can buy from the seller offering 99 and simultaneously sell to the buyer bidding 100. She would recognize a quick one dollar profit which was practically risk free. The only risk involved would be one of the opportunity disappearing after only one transaction was finished.

Ask/Offer

Fancy Way to Say: Sell A quote is made up of a bid price and an ask, or offer price. An offer is a price at which a seller is willing to sell a security.

At the Money

Fancy Way to Say: Even When the price of the security is equal to the strike price.

Average Down

Fancy Way to Say: Double Down Averaging down refers to buying more as a price declines, thus locking in a lower average price on all the total position as compared to the initial purchase price. The idea here is that as the price climbs break even and profit will be much nearer than if only the original purchase was held.

Average Up

Fancy Way to Say: Follow the Leader Averaging up refers to buying more as a price rises, thus adding to a position as one is proved right about a trade. The idea here is that as the price climbs some of the profits on shares purchased at a lower price can be used to leverage the position and grow it with the price.

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.
