50 Phrases to Run From

There’s a peculiar patois in which the financial charlatan speaks. Below, we collect some of the tropes and tricks of the unhinged market rhetorician.

Full disclosure: If you search my site or past commentary, you will probably find instances of me using some of these terms or words. It’s a little unavoidable to not parrot some of the stuff I consume, even if inadvertently. So I guess what I’m trying to say is to be wary of anyone using this stuff daily or deliberately. Because the majority of these terms and phrases are being employed in an effort to distract you from your long-term investment goals or to talk you out of what is likely a sound course of action.
