Susan, Looky-looky This was Friday's Rap ... and Monday's article on MSN Contrarian Chronicles money.msn.com And ... you can even send comments to Fleck fleckrap@hotmail.com Merry ============== Contrarian Chronicles A guide to Fleckisms The Contrarian Chronicles have a language all their own. Here’s your guide. By Bill Fleckenstein Bubbleonians: Individuals who believe we are in a perpetual bull market. Alternatively called "U4ians." Bubblevision: CNBC, Mecca for bubbleonians near and far. Casino: Another name for the stock market, at least while the dipsters and bubbleonians are still in force. Colin and Joanie: Colin Negrych and Joanie McCullogh, very knowledgeable friends who watch the markets closely. Dead fish: Also known as cheerleaders. Sell-side analysts whose idea of research is to talk to company management before issuing a "buy" rating (or to downgrade a stock to "accumulate" after it implodes). Dipsters: Individuals who mindlessly buy on dips. See also "Bubbleonians." Easy Al: Fed chairman Alan Greenspan. Also known as "Al.com." Flopping and chopping: Up-and-down motion that essentially goes nowhere. Jam job: When the powers that be force prices absurdly higher in a short space of time. Kinky stocks: High-flying tech companies with stratospheric valuations. Live fish: Uncorrupted analysts who do their homework. The species is rare, borders on extinction and is exemplified by Fred Hickey, the king salmon. People's Momentum Daily: Investor's Business Daily. Pinball Alley: See "Casino." Ramp job: See "Jam job." Shrimp fest: A gathering of government leaders, i.e., IMF meetings, G8 meetings, etc. Sox: The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index, a weighted index of 16 U.S. companies involved in the semiconductor industry. A favorite of the dipsters and bubbleonians. Tape painting: See "Jam job." U4ians: See "Bubbleonians." money.msn.com
