Crisis Special - The New Economic Lingo

Posted by Unknown On Wednesday, September 22, 2010 2 comments
Bob Dylan sang "The times...they are a-changing" in the 1960's. How true. With more and more economic problems looming in the horizon, it seems that certain economic terms may have different meanings. Here's a hypothetical list to humor you on a boring mid-week afternoon. Do swing by later for the next sopo post. Thanks. Keep smiling and spread a little love and cheer around! Have a lovely evening.



*STRICTLY FOR HUMOR WITH NO INTENTION TO OFFEND OR INSULT ANYONE*

1. CEO -- Chief Embezzlement Officer.


2. CFO -- Corporate Fraud Officer.


3. BULL MARKET -- A random market movement causing an investor to mistake himself for a
financial genius.


4. BEAR MARKET -- A 6 to 18 month period when the kids get no allowance the wife gets no
jewelry, and the husband gets no sex.


5. VALUE INVESTING -- The art of buying low and selling lower.


6. P/E RATIO -- The percentage of investors wetting their pants as the market keeps
crashing.


7. BROKER -- What my broker has made me.

9. STOCK ANALYST -- Idiot who just downgraded your stock.


10. STOCK SPLIT -- When your ex-wife and her lawyer split your assets equally between
themselves.

11. FINANCIAL PLANNER -- A guy whose phone has been disconnected.


12. MARKET CORRECTION -- The day after you buy stocks.


13. CASH FLOW -- The movement your money makes as it disappears down the toilet.
