Investopedia's Term of the Day "last two days"
Greater Fool Theory
What Does it Mean?
A theory that states it is possible to make money by buying securities, whether overvalued or not, and later selling them at a profit because there will always be someone (a bigger or greater fool) who is willing to pay the higher price.
Sucker Rally
What Does it Mean?
A temporary rise in a specific stock or the market as a whole. A sucker rally occurs with little fundamental information to back the movement in price. This rally may continue just long enough for the "suckers" to get on board, after which the market or specific stock falls.
Also known as a "dead cat bounce" or a "bull trap".
Hmmm? I wonder why they are saying that now?
