Hey Pete, I'm off to the sack but sorry for the acronyms <g>. Supply sider: Generally, aggregate demand doesn't mean much for LT growth. Supply factors (ie access to cheap capital/low tax and interest rates) are the main components for growth (set the table for increased demand). BOD: Board of Directors DCF: Discounted Cash Flows. Way to analyze if an investment is worthwhile now by discounting the future cash flows. Straddle: Buy an out of the money put and an out of the money call in anticipation of increased volatility. I may think the next two week period will be very volatile, so I may buy an EXF APR 25 Put for $0.10 and an EXF Apr 50 Call for $0.10. Hope for that volatility where EXF goes up $10 or down $10 and sell one of them for $1 or so, and 5X my money.
