Hi Katherine,

After reading all the contributions (what a great idea, BTW, wonder how =
long it will take some writer at IBD to steal it??), thought I would =
wade in with a few more (hey IBD, I give you these for free this time, =
but how about at least occasionally crediting this group for all your =
creative thinking??)

verbs like "will, should, can, expect"

ratings from major wirehouses like "reduce" at the same time as they =
maintain a "hold" (how do you do one without contradicting the other?)

ratings upgrades from major wirehouses like "raised to a strong buy from =
a buy" - does this mean you buy more, or buy faster, or just keep =
buying, or just yell louder at your broker to hurry up and buy?

"maybe you should handle my - - -  account" (heard at work too often =
after someone asks me about how I am doing, and I stupidly answer them =
honestly - strikes fear in my heart

"I don't care what the market thinks, I like the fundamentals"

"will announce tomorrow" - often used in much of the investment related =
spam I get daily, and send on to the SEC daily

so and so was buying such and such at a ridiculous price, and now it's a =
gazillion dollars higher, and they will be buying this latest hot idea =
once they hear about what I am telling only you with this spam email =
sent to several hundred million email addresses that didn't want it in =
the first place (ok, so that's not exactly how the spam is worded, just =
my interpretation - also sent daily to the SEC)

"Worley likes it" - oh, sh-t, I opened my mouth again, once too often

  I have been compiling a list of what I call "dangerous" words. Words =
that indicate emotion is overtaking rational expectations and decision =
making. Would you all be willing to add to the list?
  =20
  Incredible
  Unbelievable
  Go XXXX, Go
  Should (pretty much in any context)
  Have you bought XXXX? (Heard for the third time in 2 days)
  Everyone should have this in their portfolio (usually heard on CNBC)
  This stock is on fire (always heard on CNBC)
  Should I buy XXXX? (Heard from your plumber)
  The Fed is no longer important
  It can't lose
  It's a perfect stock
  It's a perfect company
