New stock market terms

The English language is a very fluid supple toungue and evolves to adapt to new environments and situations. A perfect example is in today's financial problems. From Bits and Pieces:
New stock market terms

CEO � Chief Embezzlement Officer
CFO � Corporate Fraud Officer
BULL MARKET � A random market movement causing an investor to mistake himself for a financial genius.
BEAR MARKET � A 6 to 18 month period when the kids get no allowance, the wife gets no jewelry, and the husband gets no sex.
VALUE INVESTING � The art of buying low and selling lower.
P/E RATIO � The percentage of investors wetting their pants as the market keeps crashing.
BROKER � What my broker has made me.
STANDARD & POOR � Your life in a nutshell.
STOCK ANALYST � Idiot who just downgraded your stock.
