And you’re in luck because my Crush the Open cohort, Lance Ippolito, and I made a video about the most common stock trading terms and phrases we use.
If you think you’re already in the know on the most important, everyday Wall Street lingo… pop quiz time!
Common Stock Trading Terms and Lingo
You’ll hear this a lot from me, so do you know what it means when I say “the market is bid”?
That simply means buying — the bids — are driving the market higher… Bids are going higher and pushing the major indexes along for the ride.
If I say “the market is offered,” “the market’s being sold,” “the market’s being distributed” or “the market’s dumping,” that means just the opposite — people are selling and the major indexes are falling because of it.
Lance mostly trades options and unusual options activity, and when he mentions “flow,” he’s referring to order flow in contracts.
So if he says…
“There’s a lot of flow in Apple weekly calls today,” that means there are a lot of weekly options contracts — which expire that coming Friday — being bought in Apple.
Another common stock trading term that many people don’t understand is a “squeeze” or a “short squeeze,” or “the shorts are getting squeezed.” And you absolutely need to know what a squeeze is because it’s a prime money-making opportunity!
