A guide to the Words of Wall Street New Folks take a peak

So as I've stated in several threads I'm new to the IB culture. Working on educating myself on all aspect, but as with any map you need a legend or it it useless.

Ive comprised a list of Vocab word definitions that had been advised as being helpful when holding conversations or any type of investment reading.

I didn't come up with this specific list although i did do all the foot work and get the formulas and definitions through investopedia.

-original article here http://www.fool.com/News/Foth/2003/foth030122.htm

Ive attached a PDF so you can just download it so there won't be loads of scrolling and copying and pasting if you'd like a copy for yourself. If this isn't helpful let me know and ill copy and paste the words directly to the forum.

I did see that! Very very comprehensive list! These were just recommended as the words one would most commonly come across. I figured in PDF format you could download and have it with you at all times even if service wasn't available.

-New guy here and i didn't wanna try and guess which ones were the most important so i took someone else's advice. Wasn't trying to take away anything from the community or work put into that dictionary.

Do not go gently into that good night
 

Thanks @"FrankieTheWop". Every bit of info helps. Sometimes I'll print out a list like this that's 10 or 12 pages long before a flight so that I have a quick list to recap with. Very helpful to someone like me. I'm in real estate, and other than my own private investing, I don't get the chance to use a lot of the financial concepts I learned in school on a daily basis. I'll start studying next month for the December CFA Level 1 exam, but I've tried to keep myself up to date with small lists like this one over the past 3 or 4 years since graduating.
