Join Tom Stewart as he delves into management dilemmas that bedevil Internet executives. http://www.business2.com/articles/web/newslettersub?nl=su_bm ***************************************************************** Site Unseen Untangle Financial Jargon By Colleen Bazdarich http://www.business2.com/siteunseen?nl=su Companies' quarterly conferences are now open to investors. But listening in, you might very well suspect that bigwig executives and Wall Street analysts are using esoteric lingo to confuse matters. Next time you're feeling left out, consult InvestorWords.com's copious directory, which houses more than 5,000 definitions to help you decode a company's latest earnings announcement or press release. Browse through the dictionary by alphabetical list, or search for a specific word. The coolest thing about this site: Each definition is densely hyperlinked so that, within each entry, every word that's listed elsewhere in the dictionary gets a link to its own definition. If you look up Ebitda, for example, you'll find hyperlinks to each of the financial terms that make up the acronym: earnings, interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. If you find the size of the InvestorWords database overwhelming, check out the glossary pages, which contain definitions for more specific subjects, from accounting to venture capital.
