I find your comment quite interesting because I'm so familiar with financial terms/ acronyms, and read earnings reports all the time. On the other hand, here on HN I am _constantly_ looking up terms (new to developing). Seekingalpha is a financially-focused site, so one should expect a fair amount of jargon. If you scroll down to the comments, you will not see anybody stating the author is talking nonsense.
I think you might find it more interesting if you look up the terms with which you are not familiar like GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) or EPS (Earnings Per Share), He's pretty much quoting the SEC filings from CRM (Salesforce's ticker symbol) themselves.
- hessenwolf 15y agoI read financial times and bloomberg most days. No term goes undefined. I am constantly impressed by how they can slip in the explanations so smoothly, and that they never presume the audience is already familiar.
