New Wall Street Jargon

Recommended Posts

The CEO of D.R. Horton, a large homebuilder, made headlines today when talking to a CitiBank convention about the future of the homebuilding market:

 

"I don't want to be too sophisticated here, but 2007 is going to suck, all 12 months of the calendar year,'' Tomnitz said.

 

 

This made me wonder if we are ushering in a new era of Wall Street honesty, with analysts using new terminology for upgrades and downgrades.

 

Reuters: Today, Morgan Stanley downgraded K.B. Homes to "it sucks" from "just godawful." In other news, Goldman Sachs upgraded Crocs from "your an idiot to own this" to "good luck with this turkey."

 

Is this a new wave of Wall Street integrity? Would you like an option on that wager?
