On Day 41, we introduced a novel private lexicon. Words that might not exist in Webster’s, but should. Words that capture the absurd poetry of markets better than the sterile stuff you see in textbooks.
This isn’t just vocabulary — it’s an invitation. Once you learn these, you speak the language of our little corner of the financial cosmos.
Here’s a second-batch for you…
🧾 Blog Lexicon Draft (Round Two)
Volatango 💃📉
Definition: The dance of volatility — sudden swings that feel choreographed only after the fact.
Usage: “Last week’s CPI release turned into a Volatango. Traders swayed, spun, and half of them tripped.”
Boomblips 🧨
Definition: Sudden micro-bubbles that inflate and pop almost overnight, leaving investors dizzy.
Usage: “That AI penny stock last month? Pure Boomblip — here today, gone by Thursday.”
FearLag 🕰️😨
Definition: The delayed reaction of markets to bad news, when prices stay calm for a moment before plunging.
Usage: “Earnings looked bad, but the FearLag took two hours to hit — then the stock cratered.”
Confidence Mirage 🌵💭
Definition: The illusion that stability in prices means stability in fundamentals.
Usage: “Banks looked fine in 2007. That was just a Confidence Mirage.”
Churn Trap 🔄🪤
Definition: The cycle where investors overtrade in sideways markets, generating activity but no real progress.
Usage: “Summer 2022 was one long Churn Trap. Plenty of motion, zero momentum.”
