About this listen
Most important Wall Street Terms you should know
If you have ever gotten lost in the jargon of Wall Street, you aren’t alone. Professional money managers and traders often sound like they're speaking a foreign language, which can leave small investors at a disadvantage.
Unfortunately, jargon is likely to be here to stay, just as it is in sectors outside the financial world. Whether you’re just flirting with investing or head-over-heels for the stock market, you’ll eventually hear some phrases that give you pause.
Does Wall Street jargon confuse you?
The language used by Wall Street professionals can make reading financial news difficult to understand for those outside the business, and can certainly be intimidating for an irregular observer, that is unfamiliar with the ways of Wall Street.
Understanding what they're actually saying will help you make smarter investing decisions.
With that in mind, here's a primer on the A to Z of the Wall Street universe. This practical glossary of Wall Street terms covers everything from investment fundamentals to the sophisticated terminology of contemporary finance.
This practical wall street guide will help you understand:
- New York Stock Exchange History
- New York Federal Reserve Bank
- Glass-Steagall Act and Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform Act
- Securities and Exchange Commission
- TARP Program and Economic Stimulus Package
- Mortgage-Backed Securities and Credit Default Swaps
- Stocks, Bonds, Options, and Derivatives
Over 140 of the most important and common Wall Street terms are explained in detail, with clear and concise article style descriptions and practical examples.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Whenever you hear someone speak personal finance, do you feel like you’re learning a foreign language? Do you feel lost when reading or hearing financial terminology from your bank, insurance, investment agent, or the IRS? You’re not alone! If you cannot comprehend basic financial concepts, such as interest compounding and financial risk diversification, you're paying higher transaction fees, you pile up unmanageable debts, and you also end up paying higher interest on loans.

Story
In the beginning was the loan, and the loan carried interest. For at least five millennia people have been borrowing and lending at interest. Yet as capitalism became established from the late Middle Ages onwards, denunciations of interest were tempered because interest was a necessary reward for lenders to part with their capital. And interest performs many other vital functions: it encourages people to save; enables them to place a value on precious assets, such as houses and all manner of financial securities; and allows us to price risk.

Not everyone thinks the same
This is especially good book for beginners (and other who wish to learn more) who wish to spot investment ideas worth investigating. Thomas Herold had a nice rule of thumb for a quick and dirty method of determining fair value. For many companies when I do fair value the long way the answers are often close. I read this book long ago and have listened it now. Thomas Herold writes well and clearly.

The benefits of this sort of exchanging are an inexorably compelling usage of capital and more significant yields, and the burdens are higher commissions and more noteworthy flimsiness.

Great book I run to regularly!
This practical glossary of Wall Street terms covers everything from investment fundamentals to the sophisticated terminology of contemporary finance.
The modeling studies use an equation or series of equations meant to model the economy to compare the results of a certain policy change against the results of a baseline in which the change was not enacted. This avoids the messiness of econometric evaluation, as it allows the creation of a ready, stimulus-less counterfactual with which one can compare the results of the stimulus bill. But it also doesn’t take into account the actual changes in employment and output that occurred after the stimulus was passed. Further, there is considerable disagreement within the economics profession about macroeconomic modeling, and for any of these studies, one could find economists who dispute the value of the model used. Of the four modeling studies, three conclude the stimulus had a significant positive effect, while one suggests it had a positive, but mild, effect.
