A Really Useful Wall Street Dictionary! -- Pragmatic Capitalism

Here are a couple of samples:

"ACCOUNT STATEMENT, n. A Document from a bank, brokerage, or investment firm that is designed to be incomprehensible to the CLIENTS, thereby preventing them from asking impertinent questions like “Who set my money on fire?” You might be able to recognize your balances and recent transactions on an account statement, although that will be easier if you earn a PhD in cryptography first."

"FEE, n. A tiny word with a teeny sound, which nevertheless is the single biggest determinant of success or failure for most investors."
