FirstAlert(tm) Investor Term of the Day: bull trap -- A sign which supposedly indicates that a security is reversing its path, and is starting to rise instead of decline, but in actuality the security continues to decline after this signal is seen. It is seen as a trap because some people will see this signal and purchase the stock because they believe they will benefit from this increase in value, but they are trapped with a poor performing stock when they find out that the stock is still falling.

FirstAlert(tm) Investor Quote of the Day: "As soon, however, as capitalist competition has definitively established the equal rate of profit, that rate becomes the starting point for the calculations of the capitalists in the investment of capital in newly-created branches of production." -- Rudolf Hiferding

Historical Quote of the Day: "Art is not a mirror to reflect the world, but a hammer with which to shape it." -- Vladimir Mayakovsky (07/07/1893 - 04/14/1930), Russian poet
