FUNNY FINANCIAL TERM OF THE DAY: "Dead Cat Bounce"


  • found in: Daily Telegraph (UK)

  • meaning: A 'dead cat bounce' is a rather unpleasant term used to describe a small, short term recovery in a falling stock's price. Why? Well, if a cat was dropped from the top of a tall building it would bounce when it hit the ground - but it wouldn't bounce much and it would still be dead. (defined by Capital Performance Partners)
