When reading the forums, blogs or articles, I often find where someone has used an acronym in their writing that I as a new investor am not familiar with. Its a little like my teenage daughter using these in text to her friends to shorten the typed characters. I get the LOL's and IMO's, but for us newbies out here and dare I say not too hip to the younger acronym world, it would be helpful if you actually wrote the word out the first time you use it in your post.   

Maybe their should be a list of acronym's compiled somewhere under "Learn" or "Resources" we could reference.
