Direction, At Lst.......2003-07-17
This is a practical guide to getting ahold of one's life. It has a lot of exercises, some easy and some moderately difficult, but all interesting and useful. It allowed me to see the patterns in my use of time, money and energy, and then to realistically and creatively plan for my future. At a time when I was moving from one city to another, closing one career and considering another, seeing my kids depart home and returning to a less-constrained life, the exercises and spirit of the book gave me knowledge and control. I wish I had seen it sooner.

Invest in this book.......2003-06-05
Eckblad and Kiel are right on target. They provide excellent advice in a concise, easy to follow form. It's never too late (or too early) to make the ultimate investment - in yourself. Their program is so sensible that you will wonder why you didn't embark on it ages ago.
Great concept.......2003-05-20
I was revising my life plans and goals when I stumbled across an article on this book. Many of the concepts are similar to those I tried to communicate in my books (Conscious spending for Couples and The Ms. Spent Money Guide), but applied to ones whole life... it's a nice structure for something that I have always done and always preached that others do - align what you do with what you truly value. Even if you don't buy the book, please buy the concept! It's great.

A valuable asset.......2006-05-31
Wall Street Words is the most valuable and most frequently used book in my library. I recommend it to my friends and to Amazon users.
THIS BOOK GIVES YOU AN EDGE WHEN STUDYING FOR THE SERIES 7.......2003-08-07
I am currently studying for the Series 7 stockbroker exam. The study manual often introduces terms with little or no explanation. The glossary in the study manual only covers a small fraction of the terms used. Before buying this book, I would have to list the terms, stop studying, and find explanations. Sometimes, I would have to waste precious study time calling into my trainer to discuss these terms.
Now, I have all of the definitions I need right at my finger tips. This book has been a great supplement to the Series 7 study material. I no longer waste time struggling with terms I do not understand. I do not have to waste valuable time on hold calling into my trainer to get a better understanding of terms.
A good word for Wall Street Words.......2001-08-10
It has all the words, it has all the definitions...it's all here. I work for a Wall Street firm and this is one of the few investment reference guides I keep at my office. Buy it.
Very Helplful.......2000-07-19
A fine book for even experienced investors. I use this book daily even though I am only a part-time investor. A nice addition to your bookshelf
An excellent guide to Wall Street Terms.......2000-05-23
This is probably the single best reference source for Wall Street terminology. It is complete and even includes investment tips. I would recommend Wall Stree Words to any investor who is sometimes baffled by the financial mumbo jumbo of the Wall Street experts.

Shareholders Equity. You could waste precious time searching for explanations to help you analyze a company s financial condition. Or you can open Wall Street Lingo to the chapter Decoding Financial Statements. If you think technical analysis is only for the pros, flip to the chapter Technically Speaking for dozens of plain English translation to stock chart terms like Bollinger bands, MACD, Elliott wave theory and Bearish Divergence.

Comprehensive Reference Tool!.......2007-08-22
In this book, the author takes what seems to be an overwhelming amount of information on the subject of Wall Street and organizes it into easy to locate sections and chapters. This fact, more than anything else, is what I think sets this book apart from many other financial reference books. While many reference books (particularly in the financial realm) that I have read lay out information alphabetically and join them with confusing financial jargon, this book does a good job of defining the many phrases and words associated with Wall Street and putting them into layman's terms. As a result, I would recommend this book to anyone starting out in the world of Wall Street. Since I have had no previous experience at all with investing on Wall Street, I must say that the sheer volume of the text was overwhelming. But the organization of the book really helps and I think it will be even more helpful to those who have already dabbled some in the stock market and are looking for an easy to understand reference tool.
Another aspect of the book I found particularly helpful was the various breakout boxes that accompanied the chapters. These breakout boxes, noted by the title "a closer look," essentially took some of the more complicated or important terms (such as momentum investing and initial public offering) and helped clarify them even more than they were in the initial definition. This style is also helpful because it immediately drew my attention to the most important thing on the page. All in all, I found this book to be full of extremely relevant and helpful information. However, it is important to keep in mind that this book is by no means easy reading. While the terms themselves are simply defined, the sheer complexity and wealth of information about the stock market and Wall Street requires more than one leisurely read. I would recommend that those interested in getting started in Wall Street investing read the book once, then keep it close by as a reference book and search tool.
The author holds some thirty years of experience .......2007-06-09
Nora Peterson's WALL STREET LINGO: THOUSANDS OF INVESTMENT TERMS EXPLAINED SIMPLY provides a finance dictionary not for the seasoned investor but for the everyday individual. It defines stockbroker terms and explains them easily, adopting a subject-oriented organization for quick and easy reference and pairing of terms and translating Wall Street jargon into easily-understood points. The author holds some thirty years of experience and her background charting futures and trading in securities lends authority to this primer, perfect for business library collections.
Gotta Love The Lingo!!!.......2007-03-23
I wouldn't go to a foreign country without a phrase dictionary and I wouldn't consider doing investment research without Wall Street Lingo by my side. As author Nora Peterson points out, what happens on Wall Street doesn't stay on Wall Street. If you want to put your hard-earned money to work earning a solid ROI (return on investment) rather than taking a Random Walk and hoping for the best, you need this dictionary.
With the wealth of information available on the internet, there is no reason why you can't make informed decisions about how and where to put your money to work for you. Fortunes are made by understanding the details involved in corporate investing but those all-important details are frequently hiding behind special terms and techniques that investors need to learn. Wall Street Lingo bridges the gap with quick, easy-to-understand definitions and related terms so that you can cut to the chase and make good choices.
The bottom line is that if you want to know what people are up to, you have to understand their language. Investors, business students and anyone whose job depends directly or indirectly on corporate America should own this book.
One of the must-have references for individual investors.......2007-03-20
Before using this dictionary, I wouldn't have been able to tell you that a "dead cat bounce" is when the stock crashes and then rises slightly or that a "beauty contest" is when a company tours prospective underwriters before an IPO (which, by the way, is an Initial Public Offering). The arrangement of the terms, not in alphabetical order, but by category, helps when you are generally working on a particular area.
Each term is also cross-referenced with any other terms which would be useful. While this is useful, I wish Peterson had also added the page numbers to the cross-references. This would save a step in the look-up process (instead of going back to the index and then finding out it was on the page before the one you were previously on). Other than that, I can't find any complaints with this reference. I know very little about investing, but was able to understand the definitions easily. It makes a great book to have on the shelf when reading the NYT or Wall Street Journal.
The best thing about this reference is the list of acronyms and internet resources found at the end of the book. This alone would justify the price of the book as I have used these lists extensively. Overall, I would recommend this as one of the essential references to have on your desk.
Wall Street Lingo - Thousands of Investment Terms Explained Simply, by Nora Peterson.......2007-03-20
This book is a great reference piece for those wishing to get into investment, or entering more advanced economic studies. The author, Nora Peterson, goes to great lengths to produce a dictionary of Wall Street jargon in terms understandable to the everyday laymen. I caught myself going to through the Wall Street Journal and getting a kick out of finding terms I often skipped through before. After going through the dictionary I felt more assured that I would be able to use these terms more effectively when using them for business presentations. I don't believe that one would just read the whole book for their entertainment; this is a reference piece, much like any dictionary. But, I do believe that those who want to know more historical information on how the jargon developed would be enthralled to keep this book as a good reference. I'm not always into using big terminology, or using terms that I really don't have a grasp of. But, there are both customers and business associates who do use these terms on a regular basis. Why not have a better grasp and turn that meeting at the water cooler into a learning environment. Best of all, you can be teaching the lesson, giving you the some added respect from that associate or boss. I know that I have had problems filling out those PowerPoint slides... I just hate that. This book can give you some of those value added fillers to better explain your business proposal. I truly believe that I will greatly benefit from this book on my reference shelf. I give this book a good reference thumbs up.

Wall Street Dictionary........2005-09-11
Not exactly "like new". Cover did have some wear and damage. Otherwise, good shipping time and very good communication.
The best dictionary of its kind.......2004-06-28
It's unlikely you won't find a financial related word you're looking for in this book. The definitions are clear and concise.
Exceptional.......2003-04-22
I cannot believe how thorough this dictionary is--literally all the street jargon is in here. For this price, you're doing yourself an incredible disservice by ignoring it. We all forget the lingo sometimes; the Wall Street dictionary immunitizes us against forgetting trader talk.
I love this glossary.......2002-06-19
It's up to date and very comprehensive. It's a great reference tool.
This is the best investment glossary on the market.......2001-01-07
There isn't a more comprehensive dictionary like this. I've never been disappointed with any of the terms, and there's never a case where I've sought a term in this book and it wasn't there. I highly recommend this book.
