An unsuccessful fundraising event which actually loses money for the sponsoring organization. Since fundraising events often entail considerable work, a fund-drainer can be extremely demoralizing for the organizers. Fundraising events should be carefully planned and managed in or to ensure they raise sufficient funds to be worthwhile endeavors. A fundraiser should be treated with the same seriousness as any business venture. Often not all of the assets required for larger fundraising events can be acquired for free. For example, securing the venue and equipment, and providing catering may all be substantial expenses paid by the fundraising organization. If in the end, the event does not garner sufficient donations then the fundraiser may lose significant funds for the organization.
People who keep up with fashion trends without spending a lot of money. Frugalistas stay fashionable by shopping through alternative outlets, such as online auctions, secondhand stores and classified ads. They also reduce the amount of money spent in other areas of their lives, such as by growing their own food and reducing entertainment expenses. This is a popular term during recessions. Frugalistas also try to maintain expensive-looking cosmetic appearances. For example, they may still get an expensive haircut, but they might cut back on their TV subscription to afford the recurring expense.
Market conditions preceding an actual market bubble where asset prices become detached from their underlying intrinsic values as demand for those assets drives their prices to unsustainable levels. Market froth marks the beginning of unsustainable rates of asset price inflation. An interesting example of a frothy market was Holland's tulip bulb market in the early 1600s. The market for tulip bulbs went through a huge run up and crash. People mortgaged whatever they could to raise cash to trade tulip bulbs. In 1633, a farmhouse changed hands for three tulip bulbs. The market top came in the winter of 1636-37 when a single tulip bulb, left along with 70 other tulip bulbs as seven orphans' only inheritance, sold for 5,200 guilders. Soon after the top, tulip bulbs traded for 1/100 of what they had two weeks earlier.
The unethical practice of a broker trading an equity based on information from the analyst department before his or her clients have been given the information. For example, analysts and brokers who buy up shares in a company just before the brokerage is about to recommended the stock as a strong buy are practicing front running. Another example is a broker who buys himself 200 shares in a stock just before his or her brokerage plans to buy a large block of 400,000 shares.
A nickname for investors in an IPO who will likely hold onto the security for a long time. In contrast to a flipper, a friendly hand generally tends to look for stable, long-term profits instead of the quick fix.
1. A slang phrase used in the underwriting process to refer to the time when the underwriters are no longer obligated to sell securities at the agreed upon price, as decided by the syndicate. When an underwriter is freed up, it is allowed to trade any remaining securities at the market price. 2. The amount of capital that becomes available to an investor when a position is closed. The "freed up" capital can then be used to invest in other assets. 1. During an initial public offering, underwriters agree to market their allotted securities at a fixed price. Sometimes, the demand for the shares is very large and investors are willing to pay higher prices. Until the syndicate is "freed up" from the fixed price restrictions, it cannot adjust the sale price of the stock, despite increased demand. 2. For example, an investor that holds shares of ABC Company may decide to close the position and use the freed up capital to invest in other opportunities.
A slang phrase describing the situation of someone when he or she gains outright ownership of an asset, such as when it is completely paid off and no creditor has a claim on the property. The phrase is probably most commonly used in reference to one's mortgage. If your house is completely paid off, you own your house "free and clear." In the case of real estate, before a sale can occur, the property must be "free and clear" so the buyers know that there are no prior claims on it.
