Simple yet effective:
Turn on CNBC while you're working at your computer. Make note of any unfamiliar words or phrases and Google them throughout the day.
Do this for several months and you'll be surprised at what you're learning.
- SkyMarshal 16y agoReplace CNBC with Bloomberg and I'd agree. I was forced to work in a small trading floor with CNBC on all day every for almost a year, and those people are absolute morons, spin doctors, and cheerleaders. Basically they take John Madden/Dick Vitale announcing style (but not the substance) and apply it to market news. You might learn a few terms from them, but I'm convinced CNBC exists for no other reason than to lure the next marks and suckers into the market, intentionally misinform them, hype them up, and then get kickbacks from the sharks and traders who take their money. Bloomberg is much higher quality.
- dustydean 16y agoThanks for the tip! I'll check out Bloomberg this week.
