Hello cafedeart.

Risk appetite: Willing to consider all potential options and choose the one most likely to result in success.

Hard Landing: A term used to describe an economy going into recession as the government attempts to slow down inflation.

Austerity measure: Taken when theres a threat that a government can not honour its debt liabilities.

Debt contagion: When an economic crisis in one country's bond or equity markets spreads to other countries which experience the same problems. A more general definition of contagion = Highly transmittable disease.

Bailout: An act of giving financial assistance to a failing economy to save it from collapse.

Troika: a slang term for the three organizations which have the most power over Greece's financial future - or at least that future as it is defined within the European Union. The three groups are the European Commission (EC), the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and the European Central Bank (ECB).

Slippage is one such phenomenon in currency trading. It occurs in Forex trading when an actual trade goes through at a worse exchange rate than had been shown by the broker. It often occurs as a natural result of Forex market volatility.

Slippage most often takes place on Sunday nights during market openings when rates of opening differ from rates of closing.

Ahhh, but with good honest brokers (well, as close as we can get them), "slippage" can be in our favor too and not always against us .

Hello novenabye

The AAA is the highest possible rating assigned to the worthiness of individuals and or corporations by credit rating agencies. An issuer that is rated AAA has an exceptional degree of creditworthiness and can easily meet its financial commitments. So if the worthiness of the issuer drops so does its rating.

Ratings agencies such as Standard & Poor's and Fitch Ratings use the AAA nomenclature to indicate the highest credit quality, while Moody's uses Aaa.

Good luck

But you are totally right it can work both ways, I did have one or two that worked I my favor in the past.
