Title: Successful Investors Have Learned to Talk Their Walk!
Author: Dr. Scott Brown, Ph.D.
Article:
Today, English is the most widely spoken and written language on
the planet. English was first spoken in Britain by Germanic
tribes in the Fifth Century AD. At that time it was known as the
Old English (Anglo-Saxon) period. During the Middle English
period (1150-1500 AD), many Old English word endings were
replaced by prepositions like by, with, and from. We are
currently in the Modern English period which started in the
Sixteenth Century.
The number of words in English has grown from 50,000 to 60,000
words in Old English to about a million today; the largest of
all languages by far. An average educated person knows about
20,000 words and uses only about 2,000 words in a week. Despite
its widespread use, there are only about 350 million people who
use it as their mother tongue.
It is the official language of the Olympics. More than half of
the world's technical and scientific periodicals as well three
quarters of the world's mail, and its telexes and cables are in
English. About 80% of the information stored in the world's
computers (like this text) are also in English. English is
transmitted to more than 100 million people everyday by 5 of the
largest broadcasting companies (CBS, NBC, ABC, BBC, CBC). It
seems like English will remain the most widely used language for
some time.
The field of finance was pioneered by the United States of
America as an extension of mercantilism. This was at a time when
study of anything but economics was considered unworthy as
compared to hard sciences like math, chemistry and physic and
kissing up in the king's court was highly regarded. The first
business schools were established in the United States for this
reason and still maintain their dominance. Finance has many
words such as "put" and "call" for which there are no
translations in other languages.
It is critical that you develop your financial vocabulary. My
understanding of the financial vocabulary is vast compared to
the average person because of my Ph.D. that I hold in the field
as well as my investing experience as a futures and options
trader and long term stock investor.
Many years of study at the doctoral level combined with direct
practice in investments has allowed me to develop a vast
financial vocabulary. This allows me to capture the essence of
investment readings and conversations that the average person
does not understand. Many investors fail not for lack of
intelligence (I am of average intelligence) but lack of
comprehension of what makes the stock market tick. This is due,
in great part, to a lack of vocabulary that the common man on
the street has not developed. Take the time to develop your
financial vocabulary and you will excel over time as an
investor!
