Learning Investing Lingo
This is going to sound very ignorant, but I really want to become more comfortable with using investing phrases and lingo (eg. "margin realization opportunity" "unit growth story" "undemanding multiple" etc. I'm pulling really random examples). Are there specific books or publicly available pitches/investment research (I also have access to some ER) I can read to become more accustomed to reading and using this lingo? Thanks!
Based on the most helpful WSO content, here are some recommendations to get more comfortable with investing phrases and lingo:
Books:
Publicly Available Pitches/Investment Research:
Additional Resources:
Remember, the key is to read as much as you can and absorb the language used in these resources. Ask questions and be curious to deepen your understanding.

You just gotta keep reading, absorbing info in conversation and applying similar concepts from situations you saw that were a “unit growth story” to others you believe have the same deltas. Obviously no cheat sheet out there for this type of thing but more importantly your lingo won’t hold you back in an interview setting or whatever — if anything, ability to describe a situation in plain vernacular english is more important. But if you use a term incorrectly, your interviewer will think you are a moron. Good lingo =\= good investment ideas or even communication of a good investment idea.
As the above poster said -- just keep reading ER. Focus on what KPIs the analyst is basing their view on and correlate that to the language they use to describe it. Ultimately, it's just about communicating the importance of a change in KPIs or the difference in view.
