4. Momentum Investing: The art of buying high and selling lower.
5. Value Investing: The art of buying lower and selling lower.
6. Cash Flow: The movement of money from a mutual fund to the fund manager. Sometimes called management fees, or management expense ratios(MERs).
7. Day Trader: The opportunity to lose large amounts of money over short time periods.
8. Stock: A magical piece of paper that is worth more when the economy is good and then worth less when the economy is really good.
9. Trailer Fees: The money you pay to your financial planner to buy and never sell.
10. Financial Advice: For every adviser, there exists an equal and opposite adviser.
