Market Language

The words people use when they pretend they are calm.

Volatility

How much the price moves around — the ride, not necessarily the destination.

How far your portfolio falls from its high — and how much steeper the climb back is.

Price levels where buyers and sellers tend to reappear.

How to read one trading day without turning it into astrology.

Whether the move had participation, or just a loud voice.

The market's price tag for the whole company — not the price of one share.

Cash some companies pay their owners for owning — welcome, never promised.

Growth assets aim to be worth more later. Income assets pay you while you wait.

Different receipts can still be the same bet.

How much money one idea deserves.

Returning to the risk you meant to take.

Cheaper is not always on sale.
