Stocks are filled with technical data, from when you start applying to when you start trading to when you sell stocks. For companies as well, getting into the stock market is riddled with technical data, documents, and reports. You’ll need the assistance of translators who can parse through the jungle of technical jargon when it comes to the stock market. The more understanding you possess, the more confidence you may have as you pursue your financial objectives.

To clear up a little of the jargon and provides you with more insight, here are some esoteric stock market terms which have been translated into plain English.

Yield: This is not the same as the return of a stock. Yield is a measure of dividend from a dividend-paying stock, and you figure it out by dividing the yearly dividend payment by the original price you paid for the shares. Say you buy shares of a firm for $10 and they yield $0.45 annually. Your yield is 4.5%.

Thin trading: A period when the market has relatively few buyers and sellers. The months of August and December commonly see thin trading, as summer vacations and holidays impact the volume of buy and sell orders that traders process. The phenomenon can also apply to certain stocks or stock market sectors. Trading has become a bit thinner overall during this decade, as Wall Street has seen a decline in volatility.

Blue chips: This term refers to stocks that have a history of consistently strong dividend payments, issued by large corporations with solid management. In addition, this is also a nickname for the Dow Jones Industrial Average, which includes 30 companies that usually deserve such a label.

Volatility: The price movement of a stock (or a stock index). Some stocks are not very volatile; others are. Thinly traded stocks may see greater price swings than others.

Hedge: A position you take with your money or investments to try and counteract or control potential losses. An investor who owns a lot of bank stocks, for instance, might hedge by investing in different utilities shares. The different industries have little, if any, relationship, so if stocks suffer in one industry due to a trend or breaking news, the other may not be hurt.

Moving average: This is simply the average, per-share price of a stock within a set period. Stock market indices like the Dow and Nasdaq have moving averages, too, which are measured in the same way.
