Slang or lingo regardless as long as I make $$

The lingos I had learnt are all acquired from MooMoo. In the past, I knew nuts about all these terms till I read all the comments and advices from MooMoo’s section.

“The Dead Cat Bounce” simply means the last rallying movement of a stock’s price where it rises from a downward trend briefly, before tumbling again. This is often seen in Paypal and Futu stocks now. $PayPal (PYPL.US)$ $Futu Holdings Ltd (FUTU.US)$

Next would be the “Whales” where the whales are the movers and shakers in the market whom have so gignormous amount of capital that their buys and sells can cause the market to swing either way much like the small animals being displaced by this giant!

“Apes Together Strong” is a clique or expression of solidarity with other common investors going for the same goal like buying AMC to the moon!!! Only if stayed focus collectively together, then they can achieve the target price. $AMC Entertainment (AMC.US)$

Haha, the recent favorite phrase “Short Squeezes” where the squeezes refer to unusual market movements. A short squeeze is when the asset traded e.g. a stock’s share price, unexpectedly appreciated to super high price over a short period of time. This is because it had ‘squeezes’ any short sellers of that market, who often exit their trades in a short squeeze to limit their losses as the market’s price rises. Stocks like AMC and Gamestop come to our mind. $GameStop (GME.US)$


“Buy The Dip” is a no brainer phrase when you have to place the trade when the price is down, on the assumption that it will rebound soon enough. This is often mentioned by people whom are permanently bullish on a particular stock, regardless of market conditions. That is the reason why we all buy stocks anyway. Duh!! Phunware is still dipping. HAHAHA $Phunware (PHUN.US)$


“Paper Hands” is when the investor is quick to sell a stock at the first sign of trouble; they cannot take the tumultuous journey and may result to early exits and missed opportunities.

Then we see this “Pump And Dump” when a group of investors colluded and bought the same stock at the same time to momentarily drive up price of the stock and to sell in a short time later to turn them into a profit. Thereafter the price will drop back to the normal level. Those caught in this wave will make or lose big time! Digital World Acquisition Corp (DWAC) is the example. $Digital World Acquisition Corp (DWAC.US)$

Last but not the least, “Jigged Out” is where one noticed the market moving in an unfavorable position and then you quickly close out your trade, only for the market to rally into a higher position which you could have made a huge profit out of it and is known as ‘jigged out’. This is exactly how I felt each time; ‘I just jigged myself out of a profit by reading the market wrong!’ Tesla and of course Microsoft are one of my many big mistakes! $Tesla (TSLA.US)$ $Microsoft (MSFT.US)$
