Listener Dave asks: Sean uses various terms for share price movements and I wonder which ones mean something and which ones are just to make more interesting copy. I assume bounced is different from rose. And spiked is different from increased. Plunged is different from dropped. Or is it? For me anything less than a 5% change is just noise if you’re not a day trader. Can Sean please give us a definitive list of the phrases to pay attention to?
