The Only Financial Terms Dictionary You’ll Ever Need

As some of you know, Bossy recently took a job in the financial sector, where financial sector equals Bossy levels the blinds.

When it comes to finances, Bossy is now an industry insider, where industry insider equals she also organizes the supply closet.

From her new expert position, Bossy would like to clear up a few financial terms that may have previously eluded you as they did Bossy.

1. Seed Money.



2. Hedge Fund.



3. Large Cap and Small Cap.



4. Soft Money.



5. Selling Short.



6. Diversification.



7. Market risk.



8. And finally, Liquid Strategy.

   Can you explain “trickle down theory”? I think it involves not making it to the bathroom on time.

   Nice to see ya!

   The return on investment with the liquid strategy is always exceptional, provided your working capital remains fluid.

   Or something.

   Thanks to Bossy for educating those of us with who can’t even organize their own closet much less those of the financial sector.

    Running low on soft money has me scrounging the couch cushions for hard money.

    And if she were in Canada Bossy would have to tackle such things as “loonies” and “toonies” and “Is that an ASIAN woman on the back of our $100 bill?”

    Olivia doesn’t know about that last one . . . she never sees a $100 bill.

    There’s also ‘Puts’ and Calls’, which I like to think of as put downs of stocks and cat-calls to stocks “Hey baby, you call yourself a stock – I’m gonna bet you tank, baby’!’

    How about mutual funds – my funds are mine, and your funds are mine, too. See – share -ing!

    At first, I thought the picture of Family Chookooloonks was to illustrate “Closely Held Assets” but then I realized that I couldn’t see where all the hands were, so I’ll go with Bossy’s definition.

    Welcome back and shana tovah, very belatedly, from me. I hope all is going well for you and your family. Is Bossy’s son working on a campaign? Take good care of yourself, p.j.

    Is it wrong that I saw Bossy’s moms comment was “penises from heaven”?

    Penises from heaven. That is funny. I remember an Iron Chef episode when the judge said the dish did not have enough penis to it. She meant to say peaness. I laughed my ass off.
