Lets start the ball rolling... What idioms have you heard of so far and what is the meaning of it ? Here are some:

1. Sell in May and go away
is a theory that the period from November to April inclusive has significantly stronger stock market growth on average than the other months. This gives rise to an investment strategy known by the saying Sell in May and go away, in which stocks are sold at the start of May and the proceeds held in bonds or a deposit account; stocks are bought again in the autumn, typically around Halloween (the end of October).


2. Catch a falling knife
To buy into a market when the price is falling rapidly.
 


3. Put All Your Eggs In One Basket
 To "put all your eggs in one basket" is to risk losing everything all at one time. Example: "My father is a very careful investor; he never puts all of his eggs in one basket." If you had a certain number of "eggs", it would be safest to put those eggs in different "baskets" and not "put them all in one basket".

bankroll someone

- to supply someone with money, to finance someone

The movie actor bankrolled his son while the son was producing his first movie. 

bottom drops/falls out of (something)

- a collapse occurs and prices fall below an earlier low price

When the bottom fell out of the coffee market many companies had to stop doing business.

bail a company out

- to help or rescue a company with financial problems

The government bailed out the bank in order to maintain stability in the economy.

I contribute some interesting financial terms(you can google them to find out more) which you will see in analayst reports using this, news or when doing your own analysis etc.

1) Overweight
2) Underweight
3) Outperform
4) Underperform
5) EPS - rolling EPS, diluted EPS, annualized EPS growth
6) NTA (non-tangible assets such as goodwills, patents, trademarks)
7) Current ratio
8) ROE (return on equity)
9) ROA (return on assets)
10) Dupont analysis (breaking down ROE into 3 parts for specific studies into how the ROE is being generated. Normally, investors may have the idea of seeing double digit ROE = positive when what they put into the company and get better returns. The ROE has to be subclassified into 3 parts. For example, through doing this, you can know which part constitute mostly to the ROE figures.
11) Margin of safety (I love Benjamin Graham hahaha...)
12) Gross margin, net margin, operating margin
13) Asset turnover
14) RNAV (revised net asset value)
15) Rule of 72

*There are much more terms out there when you refer to the financial statements.

Other market based valuation:

1)Price to earnings ratio (PER, P/E) ----> take note: it does NOT mean that P/E is decreasing over the years = cheap price to go in. You have to compare whats the common industry P/E (get from your brokers) or your peer P/E in the industry, Try to get an av. industry-consenus P/E on how much the security is trading to its price value.
2) Price to book ratio (P/B)
3) Price to earnings growth ratio (PEG) ---> can be used when NAV may not suitable to value some businesses
4) Price to sales/revenue (P/S) ---> seldom used
5) Price to cash flow (P/CF)
6) Price to book value (P/B) ---> when you use NAV to value an equity
7) EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation & amortisation) ----> used mostly for properties. honestly, some companies use this during window dreassing as it looks "nice".


If I got time the next time round, I will put some insights on how you analyse a financial statement - income, b/s, cfs, and looking at interesting points in the annual reports. we can then share our knowledge on it.

caveat emptor
- the principle that the buyer alone is responsible for checking the quality and suitability of goods before a purchase is made.
- commonly cited as 'buyers' beware' by analysts or brokers who give their opinion on certain stocks but at the same time covering their backside

Nice forum!!! The units present and explain the fundamental concepts of the different areas of finance, and define essential vocabulary and terminology, as well as common financial idioms and metaphors. 
Thank you
