关注过黑马牛股,堕落天使你关注过吗?你知道它在股市里表示什么意思吗?
Fallen angels refer to companies whose stocks are currently low in price, butperhaps only temporarily.
"堕落天使"指的是现在股票价格较低的公司,不过股价低可能只是暂时的。
These companies are good companies with solid records and performances most ofthe time but which have recently fallen on hard times – hence fallen angels.
这些公司是一些好公司,大多数时候记录和业绩都很可靠,但是最近陷入困境——因此成为"堕落天使"。
Angels are celestial beings who live with God in heaven, according to theChristian religion. Angels, unlike humans, have wings and can fly and they arekind and beautiful.
基督教记载,堕落天使原指在天堂和上帝一起生活的神仙。天使和人类不一样,有翅膀会飞,并且美丽善良。
Usually that is. As angels can also err, or sin and do evil, like God's lessercreatures, humans, can on earth. These erring angels are called fallen angelsbecause God drove them out of heaven, just as He drove Adam and Eve out ofEden.
通常情况下是这样的。作为天使,也会犯错或者作恶,就像上帝的低等生物人类在地球上会犯错一样。这些犯错的天使被称作堕落天使,因为上帝把他们赶出了天堂,就像他把亚当和夏娃赶出了伊甸园一样。
We may not understand the logic of the Christian God, but anyways fallen angelsare the bad apples. More precisely they are fallen heroes, good guys who havemade mistakes and are currently having a rough time.
我们可能不太理解基督教上帝的逻辑,但不管怎样堕落天使是一些坏人。更准确的说,他们是堕落的英雄,他们是好人,但是因犯下错误,现在处在困难时期。
Therefore, when companies in the stock market are likened to fallen angels, weunderstand that these companies were once good, are generally good and, giventime and another chance, they may be good again.
因此,把上市公司比作堕落天使时,我们知道这些公司曾经是好公司,通常情况下很好,如果给予时间和机会,他们可能会再次好转。
股市有"牛市"和"熊市"之分,前者代表股市飘红,股民挣钱;后者则完全相反。你可听过"狼市"和"鹿市"吗?
Neither a bull or bear market, the wolf market is characterized by a tighttrading range, increased volatility, high stock correlations and quickreversals. Choppy trading makes it hard to pick stocks based on fundamentalqualities, leaving shorter-term options and technical analysis better tools fornavigating the ups and downs.
狼市既不是牛市,也不是熊市。狼市的特点是窄幅震荡、波动加剧、股票相关性高、反转快。锯齿状的指数震荡提高了投资者依据基本面选股的难度,使短期期权和技术分析成为把握震荡的更好工具。
Its coiner, Michael Purves, chief global strategist at BGC Financial said awolf is clearly a smaller animal than a bull or a bear, but it's very quick anddecisive.
这个词的创造者美国BGC金融公司首席全球策略师迈克尔·普尔夫斯说,跟牛和熊相比,狼的体型明显更小,但动作迅速,决断果敢。
