freddie flipper

Definition

A day trader or stockbroker who buys and sells the same stock within a single trading session, pocketing quick profits faster than you can say "capital gains tax." Named for the rapid flip, not the aquatic mammal, though both are equally slippery.

Example Usage

Dave's been pulling a freddie flipper with tech stocks all week and somehow hasn't lost his shirt yet.
